A MONARCH EXCLUSIVE
There are few places more tradition-bound than the northern Rhône Valley. For more than 8 centuries, vignerons have worked the meager soils on the steep, blustery hillsides, crafting Syrahs that are firm, tannic, unyielding, and inaccessible in their youth. René-Jean Dard and François Ribo imbue this region and their wines with a freshness and liveliness that manages to both honor their ancient terroir and reveal a new dimension of Syrah.
