3.8
Memory (or life) plays tricks sometimes - it's different from what I remember, but still brings joy. Volatile acidity and abundant fruit lead the charge, with tomato notes joining in. Medium+ acidity keeps things lively, and while it's not quite found its feet yet, it's deliciously approachable. Milk chocolate, pepper, and tobacco make appearances. The seamlessness isn't quite there compared to previous encounters, but at this price point? Still a solid glou-glou contender.
About
Davoche's Clafoutis Syrah 2021 showcases grapes from La Vigne Grande's organic-certified 12-year-old vines, grown on light granite soil. This négociant wine is crafted from fruit purchased from neighboring vintner Aymeric Paulet. The winemaking process begins with a gentle 3-day maceration in stainless steel, followed by barrel fermentation and aging in used barrels for 12 months. The wine then rests in bottle for an additional 6 months before release, allowing its character to fully develop.
