Les Bécasses by M. Chapoutier brings together several plots in Côte-Rôtie, including La Brocarde, Côte-Rosier and Champon. The pure Syrah comes from mica schist, gneiss and migmatite soils in Northern Rhône.
After destemming, fermentation with indigenous yeasts takes place in small concrete vats, with three to four weeks of maceration. The wine is aged for 14–16 months in 228- and 600-litre barrels, with 20% new oak.
A broad and deep red, with a weight supported by concentration rather than alcohol warmth. Freshness lightens the progression, while the tannic texture gives substance and a dry grip to the finish. The aromatic profile combines raspberry and violet with pepper, rosemary and black olives, with a hint of tapenade. Nuances of oak and vanilla accompany the spicy component without overpowering the wine's character. The blend of plots and aging in containers of different capacities define a nuanced interpretation of Syrah, in which depth, floral accents and tension coexist in a structured sip.
