Description
Brousson is a small terroir blessed by the Rhone. More than a million years ago, the river deposited large rolled pebbles. More recently northern winds have brought calcium deposits pulled from nearby Cevennes, giving enough structure to the iron rich clay to have a great water retention capacity. Facing north, Syrah ripens late and produces wines with both exceptional depth and freshness. Its aromatic expression includes violet, cassis, blackberry, white pepper and a finale with accents of liquorice, minerals and oriental spices.
Harvested from Gassier's oldest Syrah vineyard facing the old Roman city of Nimes, produced only in exceptional vintages, and released only after 36 months of aging, its aromatic complexity and balanced concentration are genuinely remarkable.
