Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2022
@Chris MacLean, these bottles, particularly the “La Guiraude”, will develop for 30-35 years in the best vintages (I posted on a 1990 La Guiraude within the past year. Alain made great Crozes-Hermitage, it sounds like his sons have kept up the quality of the wines!!

Domaine Les Roches (Alain et Jérome Lenoir)
Chinon Cabernet Franc 2005
@Doug Powers Love the Texier anecdote
@Ira Schwartz, all true, he took us to Domaine Chamonard (we were so cold tasting there that our teeth were literally chattering), also Lapalu and Janin in Beaujolais, always in his own cellars, and we’d spend a day at the Marche aux Vins in Ampuis!! In addition to making fabulous wines himself, Eric was so generous with his knowledge and connections, Lenoir in Chinon being another one!!
@Doug Powers I know it’s all true. Some of the wine folks I hang out with are close to him and every time he would visit NYC they would have dinners with him.
