A showcase for everything great about Northern-Rhône Syrah. Bold and brawny with savory fig and black olive that carries from the nose to the palate. Intense, but smooth and clean with good lift on the finish.

La Ferme des Sept Lunes
In 1984, the farm that would become La Ferme des Sept Lunes began under the family of today’s proprietor, Jean Delobre. By 1997 Jean had converted the vines to organic and biodynamic farming, and in 2001 he left the local cooperative to bottle under his own name.
In 2017, Jean partnered with Jacques Maurice, adding a small holding of white varieties. Today the estate farms roughly 10 acres in the highest reaches of Saint‑Joseph, works by hand, ferments with native yeasts, and bottles without filtration, using sulfur only when absolutely necessary.
