Les Meysonniers Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
This is not Sauv blanc. Rhone white blend. This is the wine of the year for me right now. Aged perfectly. Heady honey, sunflowers, birch, beeswax, lilies- fresh in fruit- inter-grated bright acidity, yet with lots of tertiary depth. Long finish. Drink now. Good for the next 3-4.

Jul 25th, 2022Delicious, but needs time in bottle, or 3+ hours of air. This all-Syrah wine was better the longer we waited.

Dec 2nd, 2018Delicious, elegant. At once rich and fresh with a food friendly acidity and distinct minerality. Delicious with the finest Waitrose sausages cooked by my lovely sisters.

Dec 20th, 2016Really big & full bodied for a C-H. But it is quite good.

Jul 20th, 2016Vintage 2006, nice expressive nose with some violets, cherries and plums. Elegant taste but a lot of underlying power. Aftertaste is velvety, ten years at age this is is certainly à Point!
