Interesting! Nice find.

Les Vins de Vienne (Cuilleron Gaillard Villard)

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2019

Last of three bottles of this delicious Crozes. Nose is all over the place, with an initial funky (poopy) note that blows off quickly to reveal minerals, orchid florals, roasted asparagus, roast beef, dark fruit, and granitic minerality. Intense but beautifully balanced in the mouth. Soft textured and very savory/ minerally. Such a ridiculous value. Sorry to drain the last one but happy while draining it! — 10 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, this label is a collaboration between the three Cote Rotie winemakers, no?
