The flagship red wines of Chﾨﾺne Bleu are named after the most famous pair of lovers in the Middle Ages. Abﾨﾦlard was the theologian and philosopher whose passionate illicit romance with his brilliant disciple Hﾨﾦlo?se condemned both to forced separation and tragedy. Their love survived decades of monastic seclusion through passionate and erudite correspondence. Abﾨﾦlard and Hﾨﾦlo?se are not the classic ﾡﾰfirst wine/second wineﾡﾱ. Made with the same attention to detail, they are equal in quality, but very different in style, to reflect the distinct characteristics of the varieties and vineyards. The Chﾨﾺne Bleu Syrah blend is named Hﾨﾦlo?se for its balance of concentration and restraint and its ripe, supple texture. The estates fine Syrahs blend beautifully with the highly perfumed Grenache, but also blossom with the floral notes of high-altitude Roussanne, bringing Hﾨﾦlo?se stylistically closer to her cousins in the Northern Rh?ne. Barrel-aged for 18 months Hﾨﾦlo?se has an aromatic nose with notes of coffee, black fruit, truffle, mocha and blueberry. On the palate the wine is full, complex and balanced with pronounced freshness and finesse. A generous and intense wine with great ageing potential, it is ideally suited to be enjoyed with lamb, red meats and roasted vegetables.[#intro]A Syrah blend named Hﾨﾦlo?se for its balance of concentration, restraint & ripe, supple texture...[/intro]
