Thomas Farge 'Les Jardins de Chavagnac' Syrah 2024 Rhone, France (Full Glass)

Thomas Farge represents the fourth generation of his family making wine in the Northern Rhône, bringing fresh innovation after a decade studying winemaking in South America before returning home in 2018. He has trained with legendary producers like Jean-Louis Chave and Stéphane Usseglio, combining traditional Rhône winemaking with modern biodynamic practices. This cuvée comes from a special vineyard plot adjacent to a 19th century castle in the Ardèche, representing the freshest and most fruit-forward expression of his domaine.

Tasting Notes

This medium-bodied Syrah showcases savory arugula-like qualities balanced with vibrant black fruit character. Fermented and aged for six months in concrete tanks, the wine maintains pure fruit expression while developing complexity on a granitic plateau terroir. Made with minimal intervention, using no sulfur until bottling, allowing the natural character of the vineyard to shine through. The wine offers a more approachable style of Northern Rhône Syrah with excellent freshness and minerality.
