4th wine this week from Clos de Grillons! We are on a roll here as this producer reminds me of L’Anglore style wines or Alain Graillot style wines depending on the cuvée. 100% Syrah which tasted similar to Graillot’s bottling. Intense black fruit but not heavy on the palate.

Small sparkle. Light yet interesting. Bit of a mystery but not a dark one. Good wine, drink it solo or maybe cheese. No heavy foods

Acid and fizz at the top, less complex than I was hoping for but tasty nonetheless.
