Syrah, Julien Cecillon 'les graviers'

The name ‘Les Graviers’ means gravel and is a reference to the winery's former use as a gravel warehouse and the market square in Tournon where Julien grew up. The wine is made by Julien and Nancy Cecillon, a husband and wife team who founded their winery in 2011.

This wine is a blend of 100% Syrah purchased from three vineyard sites in the Rhône Valley. The majority of fruit comes from the southern parts of the Drôme and Ardèche regions, and a smaller amount comes from vineyards around Tournon.

With 30% whole clusters retained, the wine is crafted in stainless steel and aged in neutral barrels. A beautiful entry to the range, as it blends rusticity and their soft touch elegantly.
