GALETS DE LA TÊT

Syrah grown amid the rounded pebbles of the Têt valley.

An extremely sophisticated wine of controlled power, broad and soft in the mouth, with background notes of cocoa, ripe cherry and other dark fruits, and very fine-grained tannins. The Syrah is at its most luminous when young, but keeps its brightness and freshness over time, developing leather and cocoa notes.
