Domaine de Fa Fleurie Roche Guillon 2015 

Dense ruby color with purple hue. Nose of mixed berries, meat, spices, violet flowers and then something leafy. Dense, deep but tight nose. Complete opposite on the palate with expressive flavors, a good acidity level, could be mistaken for a warm year Crozes-Hermitage from the Graillot familly. Fine finish on sweet spices notes. This is for me the perfect match between gamay’s drinkability and syrah’s rusticity, with a great acidity level and real yummyness. Excellent (91)

Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage 2009

Dark color with light purple hue. Nose of black berries, olives, warm spices, just a hint of black pepper and meat. Silky tannins are paired with black fruit richness on the palate, then came flavors of bacon, spices, earth, olives, humus and red meat. Medium long finish, the acidity mostly shows on the finish. Good and ready to drink. Very good (89)

Made of  100% Syrah. The grape bunch were partially destemmed. Aged 12 month in oak barrels. Alcohol level of 13%
