Johann Michel Cuvée Grain Noir is a red wine crafted from Syrah grapes grown in the Cornas appellation of the Northern Rhône Valley, France. The region's granite soils and continental climate, with its warm summers and cool winters, contribute to the wine's structure and depth. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the varietal's natural fruit character. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, to enhance complexity and add subtle oak influence. This wine is intended to be enjoyed for its rich fruit flavors and balanced tannins.
