ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2023 Domaine Vindiou "Brèves de Comptoir" Syrah is a fresh, vibrant expression of Syrah crafted by micro-négociants Thomas and Cyprien in southern France, blending fruit from the Ardèche and Gard regions. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and whole bunches, then aged for 10 months in a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak, this natural wine is unfiltered, lightly sulfured, and intentionally minimalist. It pours light-to-medium in body with juicy red and black fruits, floral lift, and a peppery, savory edge that reflects its Rhône-adjacent granite soils. At just 12% alcohol, it’s lively and food-friendly, best enjoyed slightly chilled. Designed for casual enjoyment but with serious terroir character, it’s a standout for fans of natural, expressive Syrah with a playful, approachable style.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Thomas & Cyprien, two friends who met in Bordeaux and traveled worldwide before launching Vindiou in Northern Rhône/Ardèche. They partner with local artisanal growers, focusing on small plots, manual harvesting, indigenous yeast fermentations, and minimal intervention. Aging occurs in stainless steel and older Burgundy barrels (2–4 wines), with just a touch of SO₂ at bottling.
