Description
This small parcel from Domaine Croix de Juillet's oldest Syrah vines tasted so good, the Douillach family 'saved' it from the blend and gave it a l-o-n-g, luxury oak finish.

It was so powerful (Decanter report "excellent" wines made in Saint-Chinian in 2003's heatwave) they cellared it … for release when perfectly mellow. You'll love its velvety depth of flavour!

Brimful of ripe, black fruits, with trademark Saint-Chinian elegance, this super cuvee makes a wonderful dinner party red. Delicious!
