WINE DESCRIPTION
Elegant and exceptionally refined, their Syrah is named after the brilliant and magnificent Héloïse d'Argenteuil. It embodies her balance, concentration, restraint, and supple, mature texture. This delicate Syrah harmoniously combines with their old, fragrant Grenache vines and pairs beautifully with the floral notes of high-altitude white varieties like Viognier or Roussanne, connecting Héloïse to her cousins from the Northern Rhône Valley.
These wines are produced to pay homage to Abélard and Héloïse because their own convictions mirror the undeniable commitment this couple had to each other.

ORIGINS
Winery: Chêne Bleu
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
