Ça ira bursts with dark, juicy fruit—think ripe blackcurrant and wild blackberry—wrapped in notes of cracked black pepper, dried thyme, and a subtle, savoury hint of cultured butter. The palate is fresh and mouthwatering, with fine, chalky tannins and a lifted spice that gives the wine both charm and tension. It’s a Syrah that balances vibrancy with depth, offering a textured, aromatic finish that lingers with herbal and mineral nuance.

Vinification

Ça ira 2024 is made from old-vine Syrah grown at nearly 400 metres on limestone-rich soils. The winemaking blends 80% traditional maceration with 20% direct press, creating a balance between structure and freshness. Fermentation is spontaneous, with no additives and minimal intervention, allowing the character of the vineyard to shine through. The result is a wine that’s both vibrant and savoury, with a natural clarity and purity that reflect Hors Ciel’s thoughtful, low-intervention approach.
