Northern Rhône Syrah from Côte-Rôtie's most demanding terroirs.

Louis Barruol produces Syrah from the steep, terraced slopes of Côte-Rôtie in France's Northern Rhône. The winery's portfolio centers on the region's signature expression of the variety—wines marked by dark fruit intensity, peppery spice, and the mineral grip that defines this appellation's granite and schist soils. The Côte-Rôtie "Besset" stands as the flagship, joined by La Viaillère Côte-Rôtie and the cross-appellation La Pierrelle Hermitage. Each reflects the Northern Rhône's commitment to pure varietal character and terroir-driven structure. Wine Spectator has rated these releases, recognizing their depth and aging potential.
