The grapes for the 1753 Syrah come from the Château’s own vineyard, which is situated 15 kilometres south of Nîmes, near the village of Manduel in the heart of the ‘Appellation d’Origine Protégée’ (AOP) of the Costières de Nîmes. However, winemaker Frank-lin Dalle has chosen to designate this wine as Vin de France to distinguish the distinctive style of this wine, which has been made without sulphites. This wine was vinified without the addition of sulphites and made without any oak influence in order to allow the purity of fruit to shine through. This is classic Syrah with a very intense fruit-driven character, a classy wine which shows notes of liquorice and violet complemented by a hint of dark chocolate. Rich black fruits are enveloped by a smooth and velvety texture through to a lovely fresh finish.[#intro]A classy and intense Syrah made without the addition of sulphites...[/intro]
