L’Expression Syrah 2023
Vin de France
Loading...
Pure, northern Rhône Syrah, from a top appellation, with rich, black fruit and dark spice. It's been declassified to a Vin de France due to the large, but deliciously ripe vintage. A fabulous red our buyer snapped up: "very Rhone, dark and spicy."

The Story Behind the Bottle

So the estate had to declassify a portion of the grapes and our buyer, Mark, bagged a great wine. “Pure Syrah,” he enthused, "it is very good indeed, very Rhône, dark and spicy". So good, in fact, that he persuaded the estate to make the wine in 2023. We can't name this fine domaine, so we've labelled the wine, appropriately as L'Expression Syrah.
