Dom. Jasmin IGP des Collines La Chevalier Rouge '22

This innovative IGP from a Côte-Rôtie legend presents a vivid ruby-purple hue with electric blue highlights. The nose bursts with primary aromas of just-crushed blackberries, white pepper, and smoked meat with an underlying floral note. On the palate, juicy flavors of boysenberry, licorice, and grilled herbs dance across silky tannins with remarkable freshness (5.9 g/L TA) at 13% alcohol. 100% Syrah from young vines, fermented whole cluster and aged in concrete. Critics praised its drinkability with consistent 90-91 point scores. Perfect slightly chilled with grilled sausages or charcuterie - the 2022 vintage shows incredible purity and vibrancy from this rising star property.
