A gateway to the finesse of Clusel-Roch’s Côte-Rôtie lineup, Les Schistes comes from organically farmed parcels planted on the region’s steep, schist-laced slopes. Fermented with a good portion of whole clusters and aged in mostly used barrels, the 2022 vintage captures the essence of northern Rhône Syrah—restrained power, aromatic lift, and stony precision.
It opens with violets, black raspberry, and olive tapenade, edged with cracked pepper and a smoky mineral note. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and fresh, with silky tannins and a long, savory finish. There’s depth, but not weight—Les Schistes is all about nuance, purity, and site expression.
Drink it slightly cool with grilled lamb, duck breast, or lentils with rosemary. Clusel-Roch 2022 is for lovers of Syrah that whispers rather than shouts—pure, elegant, and shaped by the slope.
