WINE | RED WINE | RHÔNE | VDP VALLEE DU RHONE ROUGEBottle of : 75cl
Authentic Syrah from the slopes of Seyssuel, where intensity meets refinement
- Sixtus originates from the terraced vineyards of Seyssuel in the northern Rhône Valley. The distinctive schist and micaschist terroir imparts mineral character and natural freshness to the Syrah, whilst lending depth and complexity to the wine.
- This wine expresses Syrah in its purest form, with concentrated aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, black pepper, smoke and floral notes of violet. Silken texture and fine tannins create a wine that is both intense and elegant, ideal for fine dining.
- Approachable in youth thanks to its freshness and fruit-forward character, Sixtus is nonetheless a structured wine that will develop beautifully over several years. With age, aromas will evolve towards leather, truffle and forest floor complexity.

Expressive and complex bouquet revealing blackcurrant and blackberry, black pepper, smoke and violet florality—characteristic of fine Syrah from this terroir
In the mouth
Ample and well-structured on the palate with silken tannins. Ripe dark fruit flavours are enriched by peppery, smoky and liquorice notes. The minerality and freshness of Seyssuel terroir provide excellent vivacity, balancing the wine's power. Long, elegant finish with a whisper of violet
Domaine Louis Chèze's Sixtus Rouge is an intense and refined expression of Seyssuel's distinctive terroir. Ideal with red meat, game and sauced dishes, it will also appeal to those seeking complex, mineral-driven Syrah. Its ageing potential ensures the wine will gain depth and complexity over time, revealing more evolved aromas and increasingly silken texture.

DOMAINE LOUIS CHEZE
On the granite hillsides of Limony in Ardèche, Domaine Louis Cheze works 35 hectares within the Saint-Joseph appellation, on the right bank of the Rhône. Louis Chèze took over the property in 1978 with a single hectare, building the estate steadily around Syrah for the reds and Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier for the whites, with yields held between 25 and 40 hl/ha depending on the cuvée. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the consistency of its wines, the frank mineral expression of Limony's granite, and the commitment of three generations — Louis, Camille and Benoît Chèze — to one of the northern Rhône's most demanding terroirs. A dependable reference from the Vallée du Rhône.
VDP VALLEE DU RHONE ROUGE
Le Domaine Louis Chèze propose avec Sixtus une Syrah de caractère, issue des pentes schistes de Seyssuel. Ce vin conjugue l'intensité des fruits noirs et du poivre noir à une minéralité cristalline et une texture soyeuse. Accessible jeune, il révèle aussi une belle structure de garde. À servir sur des viandes rouges ou un gibier en sauce.
