Crozes-Hermitage "Buveur d'Argile", Julien Pilon

Crozes-Hermitage "Buveur d'Argile", Julien Pilon - 2023

Item # 50996 750 mL

From Julien's very first plot when he started his own estate, this comes from the left bank of the Rhône. The grapes were entirely destemmed, and fermented in stainless steel for 3 weeks. Aging took place for 10 months in used barrels. Medium-bodied, with red fruit and licorice aromas, this will pair well with a charcuterie board.

Syrah

Australian winemakers put "Shiraz" on the map (and, many would argue, vice versa), and the term is now used throughout much of the New World. Let it never be said, however, that Shiraz and Syrah are the same thing: the region in which the grape is grown determines much about the flavor of the wine it will produce. Typically, New World Shiraz yields bigger, fruitier wines than the the peppery Syrahs...
