Les Jamelles Syrah - Les Jamelles

<h1>Les Jamelles</h1> <h2>Les Jamelles Syrah</h2> <a href="http://www.les-jamelles.com/us/wine-pdf/les-jamelles-syrah.pdf">Les Jamelles Syrah</a> <h3>Grape Variety</h3> 100 % Syrah. <h3>General</h3> This is one of the finest wines in the "Les Jamelles" collection, made from a legendary variety that reaches its perfect expression in the Pays d'Oc. A rich and powerful wine combining scents of red fruits and hints of mentholated aromas with a fresh finish of summer undergrowth, "Les Jamelles Syrah" has won praise and awards from the press throughout the world. <h3>Vinification</h3> About 70% of the "Les Jamelles Syrah" undergoes a long maceration (about 3 weeks) period to extract colour, tannins and fatty components from the grapes. The remaining 30% undergoes carbonic maceration (fermentation of whole grapes) to obtain plenty of fruit. A small proportion (about 10%) is aged in oak barrels for greater complexity. <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-bottle.jpg' alt='Bottle Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-label.jpg' alt='Label Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-food-and-wine.jpg' alt='Food and Wine Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-press.jpg' alt='Press Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-grape-variety.jpg' alt='Grape Variety Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-awards.jpg' alt='Awards Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-label.jpg' alt='Label Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-bottle.jpg' alt='Bottle Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-food-and-wine.jpg' alt='Food and Wine Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-grape-variety.jpg' alt='Grape Variety Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-press.jpg' alt='Press Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-awards.jpg' alt='Awards Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-label.jpg' alt='Label Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-bottle.jpg' alt='Bottle Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-food-and-wine.jpg' alt='Food and Wine Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-press.jpg' alt='Press Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-awards.jpg' alt='Awards Syrah'> <img src='wine-picture/syrah-les-jamelles-grape-variety.jpg' alt='Grape Variety Syrah'> <h3>Tasting Notes</h3> - Appearance: Very dark colour. Fairly syrupy appearance. - Nose: Aromas of wild berry fruits (raspberries, gooseberries, blackcurrants), spices, cinnamon and a touch of mint. - Taste: Very rich and fat on the palate with a long, silky finish. This is a wine of a rare complexity. <h3>Origin</h3> "Les Jamelles Syrah" comes from three main locations: very old vines planted in the region of Nîmes, close to the Rhône Valley; the Béziers plain and the Aude Valley, near Carcassonne. The vines are grown on hillsides at an average altitude of 150 metres. They have an average age of 20 years and are pruned using the "gobelet" (free standing) and "cordon de Royat" (trellised) methods. Yields are relatively low, around 40 to 50 hectolitres per hectare. They grow on several different sorts of soil: - near Nîmes: deep Rhône soils, which give richness and roundness to the wine, - near Béziers: thick clay and limestone soils, - near Carcassonne: poor limestone soils (fruit). <h3>Awards</h3> <texteVioletClair>- Robert Parker in The Wine Advocate août 2009 </texteVioletClair>86/100 for Syrah 2008. <texteVioletClair>- ANIVIT Vins de Pays 2009 Competition : Syrah 2007 : </texteVioletClair> Gold Medal. <texteVioletClair>- Guide Hachette 2009 :</texteVioletClair> Syrah 2007 : one star. <texteVioletClair>- Epicurean tasting room July 2006: </texteVioletClair> 97 pt - Syrah 2004 <texteVioletClair>- Indy International Wine Competition (Indiana, USA) : </texteVioletClair>Silver Medal <texteVioletClair>- Maîtres Conseils en Vins de France 2003 - Switzerland : </texteVioletClair> Gold Medal <texteVioletClair>- Wine Spectator -</texteVioletClair> Best values - K.M. : 85 pt <texteVioletClair>- Expovina Award (Switzerland ) : </texteVioletClair>90 pt - Gold Medal <texteVioletClair>- The Beverage Testing Institute 1999 - Chicago : </texteVioletClair>90 pt - Exceptional <h3>Food and Wine</h3> Serve at 17 - 18°C.
