Serre Besson is a small, artisanal estate in Vinsobres, Rhône Valley, operated by Victor Taylor, a former New York sommelier and wine director, with French partner Xavier Nyssen. Acquired in 2011 and subsequently revitalized through replanting and trellising, the vineyards have been organically farmed and certified since 2019. Production is limited and hands-on, with hand harvesting, manual sorting, destemming, and parcel- and variety-specific fermentation. Wines are aged in 400-litre barrels, while the domaine also produces a rosé de macération. The Ragots 2024 Syrah is made without added sulfites.
