Signature 2020 is an exceptional cuvée. The Syrah grapes from plots planted in 1968 (52 years ago) were harvested by hand. De-stemmed, the first phases of vinification went smoothly and are already revealing astonishing potential. The wine has been delivered in 2022. The production has not exceeded 1,000 bottles.

 

The character of the Signature we’ve worked on with our oenologists is close to the Signature 2017 we described: Deep purple hue. Complex nose of ripe fruit, roasting and vanilla. Exceptionally full-bodied on the palate, with the finesse and roundness characteristic of great wines. Blackcurrant, cherry brandy, roasting, all well coated by a fine tannic structure.
