Rémi and Robert Niero propose you this new vintage stemming from a meticulous job all the year on nicest Syrah vines which revealed the intensity of our vineyard. Low yield of 30 hl. per hectare.

soil and climat : election of nicest terraces like “Vires” on steep slopes of La Viallière ans Bassenon. “Vires” is a French alpinism term to say small terrace on the hillside. The similitude with our beautiful “coteaux” ensue naturally. This is the same climate as Condrieu

wine-making process : After separating 100% of the fruit from the vine (éraflage) the alcoholic fermentation is made inside a temperature regulated tank. Several rounds of foot pressing (pigeage) are done each day during the steeping period, which lasts 20 to 25 days. Fermentation temperature: About 30 degrees then warming near the end of the steeping period. Only the steeped wine is transferred in new oak barrels during 24 months.

to serve : 18°C combination food/wine : wine is best with roasted meat, wild game, and cheese.

Vintage 2006 : Concentrated and  fine tanins. Black colour and dark light. Intense and toasted fragrances. Ripe fruit. Very elegant expression of vineyard.
capacity to age :  ageing can go up to 15 years. This wine gives you its best between 8 and 12 years old.
