For the production of the Syrah, only the best parcels of this already small winery were selected. Due to Covid, the bottling of this vintage was delayed, and the wine spent 24 months in barrel, compared to the usual 14 months of barrel aging for this wine. The careful selection and additional barrel aging resulted in a wine of exceptional depth and complexity. The intense blackberry fruit is complemented by cigar and coffee aromas, as well as distinct nutty and anise notes. On the palate, it is quite restrained with finesse on the finish.

Vinifikation La Motte’s Syrah vineyards are between 10 and 30 years old, spreading across different blocks with diverse soil profiles. The vineyard blocks are situated between 200 and 300 meters above sea level. The soil is sandstone and granite, varying from a heavier texture along the slopes to a sandy, well-drained texture where the landscape is flatter. All vineyards are trellised. Various clones and microclimates on the estate impart different characteristics to the wine. The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness. They were chilled overnight before being 100% destemmed and the whole berries transferred to stainless steel tanks. Selected yeasts were immediately added and fermentation occurred at 24 to 28 degrees Celsius. The tanks were pumped over twice daily with good aeration. To promote elegance and soft extraction, the must was pressed before the completion of fermentation. The wine was matured for 24 months in 300-liter French oak barrels, 30% of which were new.
