Cyrano Was Routas 1996
The Cyrano Var Routas 1996 is an estate-bottled red wine produced by Routas, operating under Rouvière Plane SARL. This specific cuvée, named Cyrano, is classified as a Vin de Pays du Var and originates from France.
The wine is crafted in Provence, located by the Mediterranean Sea. Provence holds the distinction of being France's oldest wine region, originally founded by the Greeks in Massalia over 2,600 years ago. The area is characterized by a sunny climate and the influence of the mistral wind. While Provence is globally recognized as a center for rosé production, it also produces distinct red wines under local classifications.
This 1996 vintage is made from Syrah, a blue grape variety that is also widely known as Shiraz. While Syrah is frequently associated with regions such as the Rhône Valley, Australia, California, and Washington, it is also cultivated in the Var department of Provence to produce regional red wines. The wine is presented in a 750 ml bottle with an alcohol content of 13%.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Provence
Provence on the Mediterranean is France's oldest wine region, founded by the Greeks at Massalia over 2,600 years ago. The area is above all the world's rosé capital, where pale, dry rosés of Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre dominate production. The sunny climate and the mistral wind give fresh, elegant wines with notes of red berries, herbs and citrus.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
