The most pure Northern Rhone Syrah we sell and know from anyone at this price.  It has all you expect from a top Northern Rhone wine, just not the higher price! Oodles of brambly dark red, blue and black fruits, spices, olives, purple florals, and all those customary savory notes are all in this bottle under $25 on the deal price!

Les Graviers is a négociant blend of Syrah from three vineyard sites in the Rhône Valley. The majority of fruit comes from the southern parts of the Drôme and Ardèche regions, and a smaller amount comes from vineyards around Tournon. Les Graviers means gravel, which is a reference to the humble-yet-essential stone used in everyday life. The name has a few other meanings to Cecillon: First, the winery was a former gravel warehouse, and second, the market square in Tournon where Julien grew up is called Place des Graviers.
