With their estate situated on the banks of the Rhône in Côte Rôtie (just south of Lyon), Domaine Garons ‘Les Triotes’ syrah will whisk you away to those steep, sun soaked vineyards with each and every sip. And sip, you shall. A family run producer dating waaaaay back to 1475 (that is not a typo), Domaine Garon prides itself on a style of elegance and restraint brought about by diverse terroirs, precise vineyard blending and deliberately subtle oak so as to entice back and again. No great wine should deliver every element after just one sip, for its complexity should continue to build, entice and beckon. And won’t you be glad you’ve scored yourself a box of this as your intrigue ceases to stop. Pair with ratatouille generously dolloped on slices of toasted baguette.
