🌟 A vibrant and refined northern Rhône Syrah, where fruit, spice, and elegance meet in perfect harmony.

👁 In the Glass:
Bright cherry red with ruby depth — radiant, polished, and expressive.

👃 On the Nose:
Fragrant and lifted, offering aromas of wild red berries, blackcurrants, and smoky spice, accented by hints of violet petals, crushed peppercorn, and a gentle whiff of toasted oak. The bouquet is both perfumed and grounded, inviting with every swirl.

👅 On the Palate:
Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with layers of black cherry, red plum, and subtle wood spice unfolding over a backbone of fresh acidity and silky tannins. The oak aging lends gentle structure and warmth, without overpowering the purity of fruit. Elegant notes of licorice, mineral earth, and roasted herbs carry through a long, harmonious finish.

🍽️ Food Pairing:
Pairs seamlessly with herb-crusted lamb, peppercorn steak, roasted duck breast, or mushroom and lentil stew — an ideal wine for both comfort food and refined fare.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delightful in its youth, but structured enough to age gracefully for 6–8 years, revealing deeper notes of savory spice, smoke, and leather over time.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
‘La Matinière’ captures the essence of Syrah from Crozes-Hermitage — expressive, polished, and rooted in place. It’s a wine of subtle power and finesse, perfect for those who appreciate reds with both aromatic intensity and graceful restraint.
