2023 IGP Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah Domaine Boissonnet

Domaine Boissonnet, Serrieres - Northern Rhone Producer: Domaine Boissonnet Wine: 2023 IGP Collines Rhodaniennes Domaine Boissonnet Varietals: 100% Syrah Tasting Notes:  This wine hails from a terroir closely related to that of Saint Joseph Rouge, capturing the signature character of the northern Rhône Valley. It showcases vibrant red fruit flavors and a refreshing profile that makes it especially enjoyable in its youth. The nose bursts with vibrant dark fruit aromas—plum, black currant, and blueberry—intertwined with delicate floral notes of violet and lavender, as well as a touch of spice from sweet paprika and crushed white pepper. On the palate, it offers a beautiful balance of ripe dark fruits with savory, meaty undertones. Subtle hints of black olives and cocoa powder emerge, imparted by the well-integrated oak. The finish is smooth, with velvety tannins and a lively acidity that contributes to its excellent structure and balance. Food:  Pair this with hearty dishes such as a Portobello mushroom burger, miso-roasted eggplant with tomatoes, Ratatouille, BBQ spiced ribs, Gouda cheese, or duck for an exceptional match. Cellaring: Drink now  or through 2025
