Domaine Durand - Saint-Joseph 2017

Domaine Durand is a family-owned estate run by brothers Eric and Joel Durand since 1991. The estate is comprised of 13 hectares of Syrah vines, eight in Saint-Joseph and five in Cornas. Eric and Joel are firm believers that in order to make great wine, you must have great grapes, and to have great grapes, you must have impeccable vineyards. The brothers work incredibly hard in their different parcels, not only managing the plants, but also maintaining and rebuilding the terraces on which their vines are planted. On these predominantly granitic slopes, and in the hands of these two talented brothers, the noble Syrah grape finds fantastic expression.
