Les Chenes Vert Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Pretty wine but high acidity. Needs some air and room temp to shine.

I was fortunate to meet him for the 1st time at this years 20th anniversary dinner at La Paulee. He happened to be the only non Burgundy producer to attend the 1st dinner back in 2000 with Roumier, Roulot, Dujac, Lafon & other legendary Burgundy icons. He was very humble & genuinely a nice person.
