Louis Chèze is one of the northern Rhône's most respected producers, farming steep granite slopes in Condrieu and Saint-Joseph. Syrahvissante (a play on 'ravissante', meaning delightful) is his approachable entry-level Syrah from the broader Collines Rhodaniennes IGP rather than AOC Saint-Joseph. This allows for earlier-drinking, fruit-forward wine at a more accessible price. The 2024 vintage shows bright aromatics and lively character.
Blackberry, dark cherry and violet with black pepper and subtle herbs. Medium bodied with soft tannins and bright acidity. Fruit-forward and fresh with classic Syrah character but less concentration than his Saint-Joseph wines. Easy-drinking with enough structure to pair with food. Clean, straightforward finish.
Serve slightly cool (14-16°C). Pairs well with grilled meats, charcuterie, pizza, or works nicely on its own as an approachable red. Enjoy within 2-3 years while the fruit is fresh and vibrant.

The family property was taken over in 1978 by Louis Chèze. The Domaine Louis Chèze is located on the top of the hillside of the commune of Limony, on the right bank of the Rhône, 60 Kms south of Lyon, in the heart of the northern Côtes du Rhône vineyard area. Monsieur Chèze started the adventure with 1 Ha in Saint-Joseph and a few vines he rented. Today, the estate represents 45 Ha in the prestigious appellations such as Condrieu, Saint-Joseph, Côte-Rôtie as well as well-situated vineyards in Vins de Pays districts. Since the year 2000, he is one of the forerunners with two winegrower friends reviving the fabulous Roman terroir of Seyssuel. Louis' determination, curiosity and rigour are of the utmost importance when it comes to monitoring the vineyard and making the wines. Each vintage is a in-depth search to capture the quintessence of the terroirs. Numerous vintages, each with their own differences will delight the wine and food lover in you.
