The concept of Terroir, which refers to the unique combination of natural factors associated with any particular vineyard is important to french vignerons. It includes such factors as soil, underlying rock, altitude, slope of hill or terrain, orientation toward the sun, and microclimate (typical rain, winds, humidity, temperature variations, etc.). Even in the same area, no two vineyards have exactly the same terroir, thus being the base of the Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) system that has been model for appellation and wine laws across the globe. In other words: when the same vareital is planted in different regions, it can produce wines that are significantly different from each other. In France the concept of terroir manifests itself most extremely in the Burgundy region. The amount of influence and the scope that falls under the description of terroir has been a controversial topic in the wine industry.

Cote Rotie
|
|
Syrah
|
|
Deep ruby with notes of herbs, sweet kirsch, a hint of raspberry, and floral notes, this medium-bodied wine is very much in the Jasmin style, with supple tannins, an elegant, feminine, restrained personality, but excellent purity. It lacks somewhat in concentration, but that has never been one of the strong suits of the Jasmin wines. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.
