Description

Frigoule Syrah 2023 from the Vignerons Ardéchois: a full-bodied red with a distinct character

The Frigoule Syrah 2023 from the Vignerons Ardéchois is a cuvée that showcases the full richness of the Syrah grape variety in the Ardèche vineyards. Produced in the southern Rhône Valley, this red wine’s identity is shaped by its origins and a particularly meticulous ageing process. With 12 months in oak barrels, Frigoule develops a personality that combines the intensity of the fruit with the complexity imparted by the wood.

Syrah is the sole grape variety in this cuvée. Renowned for its black fruit aromas, peppery notes and occasional hints of liquorice, it produces expressive and well-structured red wines. In the glass, Frigoule 2023 displays an aromatic profile dominated by ripe black fruits, with spicy touches and delicate oaky nuances. Twelve months’ ageing in oak barrels complements the grape variety’s natural character and adds depth to the tasting experience.

Les Vignerons Ardéchois represent a collective endeavour bringing together passionate producers dedicated to showcasing the terroirs of the Ardèche. Their expertise enables them to offer a diverse range of wines, reflecting the varied expressions of the Ardèche vineyards. With ‘Frigoule’, they showcase a Syrah crafted with patience, for which the ageing process is a key feature.

At the table, this red wine from the Ardèche PGI will naturally pair well with a grilled rib of beef, a herb-crusted leg of lamb, a duck breast or a roast. It will also pair well with mature cheeses and slow-cooked dishes.

Served at around 16 to 17 °C, Frigoule 2023 is an excellent choice for Syrah enthusiasts seeking a structured, full-bodied red wine characterised by its oak ageing.
