2015 Rene-Jean Dard & Francois Ribo, Crozes-Hermitage, Les Rouges Baties Cuvee_Cordeloux
These wines brim with unique character and provide a ton of pleasure
pebble scree
has yielded a wine defined by striking structural nerve and bracing acidity
This bottling is a touch on the divisive side

These conditions
where a final blending was done in used Cognac barrels
It stands as a compelling example of dry Chenin Blanc

being less overbearing than the smoke- and peat-laden whiskies of Islay and more elegant than the sticky spice bombs of Speyside
