A good flag-bearer

(from 3 parcels in Les Vergers proper)

45 ha parcel of 70+ year old vines)

offering up incredibly complex and ripe white flower and green fruit aromas that complement beautifully balanced

25% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot from organic and biodynamic certified vineyards on granite soils

It encompasses about 132 acres located in four regions of Alava Rioja planted to approximately 90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano

the Syrah opens to flavors of ripe

sauvage finish

This is attractive if not classically styled

and the usual austerity of classic Clos de Vougeot is only a background element as the rich

Otherwise the large-scaled flavors are rich to the point of opulence thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that also buffers the notably firm acid spine shaping the citrus zest-inflected finish

This is aromatically similar to the Bâtard with the addition of a touch of mineral reduction
