The vineyard stretches over 3 communes in the Drôme “department”: Tain-l’Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Larnage.

The soils are a combination of granite with alluvial quaternary delta deposits, and Pliocene marl. This diversity explains the numerous names given to vineyard plots within the appellation.

This wine is a blend of three different terroirs: L’Ermite,  Le Sabot, and the famed Les Bessard.

These vineyards are protected from the north winds, the slopes are well exposed to the sun, facing south.

Grape Variety: 100% Syrah

Tasting Notes:

The colour shows brilliant, deep red hues.

The nose is powerful and complex, expressing blackberry, spice and leather.

On the palate, the Domaine des Tourettes is firm but silky, with a tightly-knit tannic structure that is a hallmark of a wine with a great future.
