2017 Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah “l’Art Zélé”

Lionel Faury
Discount Eligible $35.00
SOLD OUT

Faury owns two parcels in the Côte-Rôtie lieu-dit known as “l’Arselié,” located high on the hill where the land begins to undulate before connecting with the plateau farther above. These parcels lie in the northern Côte Brune, on the north side of Ampuis, above Le Plomb and Grandes Places. One of them produces fruit for his Côte-Rôtie, which is blended with his holdings from Le Plomb and Fourvier on the lower, steeper slopes. The other portion, just outside of the official appellation, is used to create this bottling that differs from Côte-Rôtie in name only. We release it younger, and it drinks sooner, but it has all the telltale aromatics, flavor, and structure of the legendary roasted slope: black, ultra-smooth, loads of graphite. Traditionally made, whole-cluster Syrah from a proven master of the grape, aged in older demi-muids, this is one of the only Syrahs that gives you a taste of the great northern Rhône Syrah appellations without the price tag.
