Syrah 3 coups Red 2021,

La Ferme de l'Arbre

The nose of this Trois Coups is expressive, laden with red fruits. This fruity sensation continues on the palate: the wine is rich and very balanced. Since it was a rainy year, the tannins are still a little green, but they will polish after two or three years of aging. Trois Coups' aging potential is also very great. It is made from Syrah grown on a plot of loess and granite, with manual harvesting. The grapes are macerated in stainless steel vats, whole bunches, for a good ten days. Punching down the cap is carried out morning and evening during fermentation. Pressing is done in a manual ratchet press. Half of the wine is aged in 220-liter barrels and the other half in stainless steel vats. Bottling takes place in early July, shortly before the following harvest.

La Ferme de l’Arbre is a small four-and-a-half-hectare wine estate located on the right bank of the Rhône, on the Ardèche side, in Tournon-sur-Rhône (near Tain-l’Hermitage). Run for twenty-five years by Christian Lericq and Colette Barrier, it has had its current name since 2021, the year it was expanded. It is mainly located on granite soils with a loess plot. Entirely devoted to natural wine, obtained through organic and biodynamic farming, it currently produces Syrah red wines under the Saint-Joseph and Vin de France appellations. The estate also has a small apiary and produces honey. The vines are tended with herbal teas and nettle manure, and the soil is nourished with compost and manure. The wines are harvested entirely by hand, vatted in whole bunches. Vinification takes place at room temperature and the wines are neither filtered nor fined. The wines are authentic Syrahs from the Rhône Valley, simple and delicious, joyful, convivial and fruity.
