Domaine de BeauventSyrah 1er Cru élevé en barrique 2022

About this wine

This Syrah from Domaine de Beauvent shows what Geneva's terroir can do when handled with care. The 2022 vintage spent time in oak barrels, adding complexity to the naturally expressive Syrah grape while keeping the wine's fresh character intact.

On the nose, you'll find dark berries and black pepper, with subtle hints of vanilla and toast from the barrel ageing. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins and a touch of spice that lingers pleasantly. It's got enough structure to feel serious but remains approachable and easy to drink.

This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, lamb chops, or a hearty beef stew. For something more local, try it with a Swiss saucisson or a plate of charcuterie. Decant it for about 30 minutes before serving at 16-18°C to let the flavours open up properly.
