The François Villard L’Appel des Sereines Syrah 2023 opens with expressive aromas of violet, blackberry, and gentle black pepper, typical of cool-climate Syrah. The palate is supple and vibrant, showing juicy dark fruit, hints of spice, and a touch of graphite minerality from its granite soils. Tannins are fine and silky, wrapped in a refreshing acidity that gives lift and length. The finish is aromatic and persistent, emphasizing freshness and elegance over power — a beautifully balanced, approachable Rhône Syrah.
