Domaine de Sulauze, Vin de France Charbonnieres Rouge, 2023

Sulauze's Charbonnières channels Syrah through a low-intervention lens: hand-harvested grapes undergo cool maceration for 15 days after a partial carbonic maceration in concrete. Fermentation is wild, aging minimal (Syrah ages in demi-muids), and sulfur is added only at bottling in volcanic form. The result is a wine of purity and restraint, built on the biodynamic farming of the estate's 29 hectares. This is modern Provence done with respect for the fruit and the site.
