"Suffers the fate of destemming", but still crusty enough for me. From sandy granite soils toward the base of Chaillot.

Notes d'anis, violette et un fond qui rappel les conifères. Délicieux, vibrant!

Such a whack label for such an incredible wine. This is everything I want in a Syrah. From the bottom part of the famed Chaillot vineyard. So fragrant that I can't stop smelling. Violets, lavender, spice and dark fruit with bright acid. Elegant now and should only develop more if my instincts are correct.

Textbook French Syrah. Highly fragrant on the nose with refined fruit and elegant floral notes. Tons of exquisite mouthfeel and supple finish. Paired well with handmade crusty pizza.

“Nouvelle R” Good material here just needs more time. Black cherry & red berry fruits, meat, blood, wild herbs, mineral & olive are some of the notes.
