Bernard Levet, Syrah “La Chavaroche” Côte Rotie, Northern Rhône, France 2018 orange 60% Cabernet SauvignonThis wine is aged for thirty to thirty six months prior to bottling. It is, quite simply, a ferocious wine, unique in its uninhibited expression of the smells and flavors of the appellation. No compromise is brooked here. The result is a wine that is controversial, too wild for many but, for us, one of the most elite wines in our personal pantheon.
