2022 Jean-François Malsert (Domaine de l'Iserand) Syrah, Vin de France
SKU: B63
Regular price $31.95In the cellar, Jeff seeks to produce digestible, fresh and airy Rhone wines. For the reds, he favors the whole harvest, carrying out vinification without any inputs. His thoughts on aging are interesting since he uses both the traditional containers of the region – demi-muids, namely 600 liter oak barrels – but also concrete diamond vats and amphorae. The first container, through the micro-oxygenation it allows, gives a patina to the wines while the other two types of container exacerbate the dynamism of the fruit and provide straightness. For the whites, Jeff uses his old vertical press and carries out short macerations which give them strength and freshness welcome in the region. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration.
