A boutique producer making only two wines in very limited quantities, Christophe Durand is perhaps better known in the wine industry for the oak barrels he imports from France.
Through his hands-on involvement in supplying barrels, he came across a vineyard in the Simonsberg area of Stellenbosch where he has sourced the grapes for this Syrah since the first vintage in 2001.
Delicately made each year to ensure a soft, gentle wine that is enjoyable now, but possessive of a depth and complexity that allows it to age well.
Brendon’s thoughts:
A truly delicious wine made by a good friend, it is a sellout every year: testimony to its quality and to Christophe’s consumption ability! Best when decanted before serving.
Marc’s thoughts:
Dark, ripe fruits and well-integrated oak make an attractive, elegant wine, Consistently good quality, and definitely benefits from a few years in the bottle.
Price at Caveau per bottle: R260
