Simon Gastrein‌ ‌‘Maison Troupeau’

The palate is juicy, bright, and quietly wild, opening with blackcurrant, red berries, and a touch of lavender, echoing the descriptors from the search results. A mid‑palate of black olive, cracked pepper, and wild herbs reflects both the Northern Rhône Syrah signature and Gastrein’s natural, low‑intervention style. The texture is light, fresh, and gently grippy, with the low alcohol giving the wine a breezy, bistro‑ready energy. The finish is savory, lively, and subtly herbal, tapering with red‑berry skin, olive brine, and a cool mineral edge.
