Nestled in Occitanie, this cuvée Vieille Vigne Falgueyras from Domaine Bois Moisset is a beautiful expression of Syrah from its Tarn terroir. Made from old vines aged 30 and 40 years old, planted on boulbène and gravel soils, this natural wine is vinified with a minimalist and respectful approach.
2019 was anything but a restful year: after a few episodes of hail in the spring, the hot summer was punctuated by beneficial storms in July and August, ensuring the grapes reached beautiful maturity. Harvested on September 19, the Syrah was destemmed and then macerated for a month in concrete vats, with two punchings to gently extract color and structure. Fermentation took place without the addition of sulfites, at a temperature not exceeding 23 °C, thus preserving all the freshness of the fruit. After aging for nine months in vats, the wine was bottled unfiltered to preserve its purest expression.
On tasting, Vieille Vigne Falgueyras reveals a fruity and charming profile. Its deep, dark color announces an intense nose of blackcurrant, blackberry, and morello cherry, accompanied by a peppery touch typical of Syrah. On the palate, the attack is full and juicy, offering a beautiful balance between indulgence and freshness. The tannins are fine and silky, giving way to a savory and persistent finish.
This accessible and convivial red is ideal for casual meals as well as large gatherings with friends. It will pair perfectly with charcuterie, grilled meats, pizzas, Mediterranean dishes, or even a good summer barbecue. Enjoy slightly chilled to enhance its freshness and fruitiness.
