Fred Niger runs domaine de L'Ecu in Muscadet, but he has friends all over France. He started his 'Love & Grapes' project to support his fellow wine-growers and use grapes from other regions. This Syrah is pretty much declassified Chateauneuf-du-Pape, using "young" vines of 25-30 years. Fermented and aged only in stainless steel. Vinified without sulfur, fining or filtration. A philosophy of "no make-up" just true wines without adulteration. A dry French red made to simply enjoy without overthinking.
