Saint Honorat 2022 - Organic Wine - Syrah
This Saint Honorat has an intense, brilliant purple colour with purple highlights. 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, with a smooth, long-lasting finish.

The year 2022 was a challenging one for the Mediterranean region and for France. The winter of 2022 was mild with little rainfall, and the lack of rain and drought will be the year's hallmarks. While vegetative growth was strong in spring, the lack of water is slowing it down. On the plus side, there was no fungal disease pressure, but for the first year the yield was reduced by the lack of water. With the hot weather, the harvest came very early: we started picking the Pinot Noirs on 9 August, and by 31 August all the grapes were in the vats. We usually finish harvesting in the second half of September. By bringing the harvest forward, we were able to stay within known parameters of sugar and acidity and produce some fine cuvées. The small numbers of highly concentrated grapes, combined with meticulous work in the cellar, have produced a fine vintage with remarkable aromatic complexity.
