2024 Louis Cheze Syrahvissante Collines Rhodaniennes

Slurp Wines NR

Louis Chèze is one of the northern Rhône`s most respected producers, farming steep granite slopes in Condrieu and Saint-Joseph. Syrahvissante (a play on `ravissante`, meaning delightful) is his approachable entry-level Syrah from the broader Collines Rhodaniennes IGP rather than AOC Saint-Joseph. This allows for earlier-drinking, fruit-forward wine at a more accessible price. The 2024 vintage shows bright aromatics and lively character. Blackberry, dark cherry and violet with black pepper and subtle herbs. Medium bodied with soft tannins and bright acidity. Fruit-forward and fresh with classic Syrah character but less concentration than his Saint-Joseph wines. Easy-drinking with enough structure to pair with food. Clean, straightforward finish. Serve slightly cool (14-16°C). Pairs well with grilled meats, charcuterie, pizza, or works nicely on its own as an approachable red. Enjoy within 2-3 years while the fruit is fresh and vibrant.
