Heller Bonne Fortune Syrah
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Bonne Fortune Syrah is Organic Certified.
- As quoted by a French satyrical poet, everyone is the own artisan of its Good Fortune. Every year, Quentin Heller surveys the vineyard to find hidden treasures, in search of terroirs that can offer certified organic wines, fruity while remaining mineral and fresh, at affordable prices.
- Bonne Fortune Syrah comes from two locations, and two vintages 80% 2020/20% 2021. Most of the blend is comes from Sandy marls at 380 meters of altitude 80 it aims at bringing the freshness and the fruit purity while the rest is coming from the other side of the river, and is grown on yellow clay brings some depth to the blend.
Varietal Composition: 100% Syrah
Tasting Notes: Delicious seems to me to be the word here! Big, with plenty of blackberry and a lot of freshness, this bold red is brimming with ripe but not overripe fruit. Very clean and straight.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Heller Wines is a brand of Adionis, a wine and spirit agency that represents more than 70 select estates in France and around the world. It was founded in 2018 by Quentin Heller, who specializes in wines from select estates from all the great French terroirs.
At the Ecole Supérieure des Agricultures of Angers, France, he not only earned a Master’s Degree in Viticulture and Oenology, he also met his wife Agnès. Together they traveled throughout Europe, and finally settled in the Rhône Valley. After working for seven years as an export director, Agnès suggested that Quentin found his own business. That suggestion has gained him an international reputation.
