Famille Cecillon Syrah 'Les Graviers'

While the Cecillon label only recently began, Julien’s family has been documented making wine in Tournon for eleven generations. Today, Julien and his wife Nancy are dedicated to producing exceptional terroir-driven wines at their small winery, which is located near Tournon, in the historic center of the Rhône Valley.

Coming from vines planted between 1975 and 2010, this syrah is 30% whole cluster, and aged for 8 months in 30% new barrels with the rest being aged in a mix of concrete and stainless steel. 'Les Graviers' means gravel, and is very much also referring to the history of the winery previously being a gravel warehouse, and the market square in Tournon where Julien grew up, named Place des Graviers.
