SAINT HONORAT - Syrah 2020

The 2023 red wines will soon be bottled. It's been a generous year, and we need to make room in our cellar.

To do this, we're launching a special operation: release 30,000 bottles of St Honorat!

Take advantage of this exceptional offer: by buying now, you'll be supporting the monks of Lérins Abbey.

An intense, brilliant purple color with violet highlights adorns this Saint Honorat. An initial nose of raspberry, blackberry and green pepper reveals a complex aromatic bouquet that is echoed on the palate, supported by fine acidity and an intense tannic structure. This great wine shows all its ageing potential, leaving a suave, long-lasting finish.

More info

2020 was an atypical vintage for the Mediterranean region. The winter of 2020 was mild, with relatively abundant rainfall, which was very welcome after the drought. Many vines in the Var region froze. On the island, with temperatures of +1°C, the vines resumed their winter dormancy.

The summer was hot, but we were fortunate to have some good rain, which allowed the bunches to swell and ripen slowly. The harvest was particularly early, and the choice of harvest dates was complicated by this original heterogeneity and by a slight stress exogenous to the island with the sweet name of Covid...

However, thanks to the meticulous work in the cellar, the solidarity of the volunteers and the valour of the community, we are very satisfied with the quality of the vintage, with its freshness and beautiful aromatic complexity.
