Wine Expert Note:

Pouring into the glass, the Les Iles Feray presents itself with a deep and vibrant ruby hue. The nose is instantly greeted with an aromatic potpourri of fresh black fruits, pepper, violets, and a whisper of olive tapenade, characteristic of Northern Rhône Syrahs. On the palate, one can discern a harmonious balance between the ripe blackberries and blueberries, juxtaposed against a backbone of crisp acidity and firm, yet refined tannins. The wine gracefully unfolds, revealing layers of dark fruit, subtle meatiness, and nuances of earth and mineral. The finish lingers, with echoes of spice and floral notes, making it a testament to the richness and complexity of the Saint-Joseph terroir.

The wine is then aged in oak barrels for a year, with 30% new oak and the remainder seasoned between 1 to 4 years. Known for their dedication to manual labor and attention to detail, the Durand brothers produce red wines of exceptional quality, characterized by concentrated textures and a distinctive graphite, precise, and mineral-driven style that reflects the unique terroir of Cornas.

The grape varieties Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre unite in the cuvée of this dark red wine. The vines thrive on varied soil. Limestone, granite, pebbles and alluvial land determine the overall picture. The vines are on average 35 years old. After a careful and selective harvest, the winegrowers ferment the Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rouge traditionally at a controlled temperature. The wine stays on the skins for a long time and thus gains color and taste. Before being bottled, the Guigal Côtes du Rhône Rouge matures in oak barrels for a year and a half.
