Domaine Roland Grangier
Reflets de Syrah
Description

Less
Reflets de Syrah is a great example of how juicy and fruity the Syrah grape can be. Notes of fresh red fruits such as raspberries and red cherries with hints of cassis and blackberries fill the nose and palate. This concentration of fruits is supported by round, supple tannins with spice notes from oak aging.
Pair this wine with dishes such as roast chicken, seared duck breast and slightly aged cheese.
This wine uses 100% hand-harvested Syrah grapes, which are entirely destemmed. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with regular punch downs and pump overs. Matured for approximately 10 months in oak barrels, they are bottled with very light filtration. Average annual production is 16,000 bottles.

Winemaking has been an integral part of the Grangier family since Roland’s grandfather tended vines for a living in addition to raising dairy cows. Roland’s father, Charles, settled in the city of Chavanay to establish his business, practicing polyculture of vines and fruits. It was not until 2002 that Roland took over his father’s vines, along with his neighbours to found the Domaine with 1.5 hectares of vines focusing solely on viticulture.
While protecting and passing on their tradition, the Domaine incorporates modern techniques in their wine making in order to best express the terroir of their vineyards. With his wife Céline, the Domaine now encompasses 11 hectares in 3 appellations of Condrieu, Saint Joseph and Côte Rôtie.
