Syrah de Chamoson 2018 — Simon Maye & Fils, Magnum
This Syrah de Chamoson 2018 from Simon Maye & Fils, offered here in magnum 1.5 L, embodies one of the most emblematic and sought-after expressions of Valais Syrah. From the sunny, stony terroirs of Chamoson, it combines ripe fruit, Alpine freshness and the spicy, floral and mineral dimension that defines the finest Swiss Syrahs.
The 2018 vintage offers a generous, profound and already expressive profile: blackberry, cassis, black cherry, plum, violet, black pepper, liquorice, fine spices, black olive, dried herbs, graphite, delicate leather and warm earth. The magnum format encourages slower evolution, preserves freshness and enhances the appeal of this bottle for lovers of ageworthy Swiss red wines.
The spirit of the wine
A great Valais Syrah, profound, spicy and beautifully structured. The ripe black fruit remains carried by fine freshness, polished tannins and a precise mineral frame. Simon Maye delivers an intense yet balanced wine, at once Alpine, Mediterranean and deeply marked by its Chamoson terroir.
Terroir: Chamoson, Valais warmth and Alpine freshness
The vineyards of Chamoson benefit from a dry, luminous and strongly contrasted climate, ideal for Syrah. Stony soils, Valais warmth and cooler nights allow the grapes to reach full ripeness while preserving tension, aromatic definition and balance. At Simon Maye & Fils, this Syrah stands out for its intensity, precise tannic grain and highly recognisable spicy expression.
Tasting notes
Appearance: deep ruby with violet and garnet reflections, dense, bright and still very sustained, with slow evolution encouraged by the magnum format.
Nose: intense and refined, with blackberry, cassis, black cherry, plum, violet, black pepper, liquorice, fine spices, black olive, dried herbs, graphite, delicate leather and warm earth.
Palate: broad, fresh and structured, with precise black fruit, firm yet elegant tannins and fine mineral energy. The finish is long, spicy, lightly smoky and persistent, with an impression of controlled depth and great Valais nobility.
Aromatic profile
Fruit: blackberry, cassis, black cherry, plum, ripe black fruits.
Spices and evolution: black pepper, liquorice, fine spices, delicate leather, black olive.
Terroir: violet, dried herbs, graphite, warm earth, Alpine freshness and a mineral finish.
Expression of the 2018 vintage
The 2018 vintage in Valais produced solar, ripe and expressive wines, with beautiful fruit maturity. For a Syrah from Chamoson, this generosity translates into deep substance, intense aromatics and broad texture, balanced by Alpine freshness and terroir precision. In magnum, the wine retains fine ageing potential towards notes of fine leather, pepper, forest floor, black olive and time-polished black fruits.
In summary: a profound, spicy and beautifully presented Syrah de Chamoson 2018 in magnum, driven by the ripeness of the vintage, the freshness of Valais and the precise signature of Simon Maye & Fils.
Food pairing: rib of beef, lamb with herbs, duck breast, game birds, veal with morels, refined Alpine cuisine, pan-fried mushrooms or mature cheeses.
