Petites Collines

Domaine Faury

Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah

First note: black pepper galore. As it opens the pepper dissipates, leading to dried flowers and chalky earth. Under-notes of cherry. Great acidity with moderate tannins. — 3 years ago

Les Petites Roches Chinon Cabernet Franc 2012

Nose has chalkboard dust, mashed cherries, raspberry, ripe currant, oak bark, (minor) moist garden soil, milk chocolate bar and moist pipe tobacco.

Palate has crushed cherries, orange peel, ripe black currant, blackberry, graphite and medium tannins. Long finish, amazing bottle this evening.

About two years since our last bottle, doing very, very well this evening, can hold another 6-12Y (2026-32) in proper storage.

Domaine Monier Perréol

Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah 2016

Needs a bit of time to open as a bit harsh in the front. Nice dark fruit and spice. — 7 years ago

Domaine les Alexandrins

Les Poup'eeps Vin De Pays Des Collines Rhodaniennes 2014

Pop and pour. I like my Viognier a little more floral. That being said, this is still a ovely example. On the nose: soft herbs, pollen, maybe soft dried wildflowers. On the palate: good acidity, lovely density, maybe slightly advanced with lemon, dried herbs and cucumber on the palate. Not oxidized, but just lacking lift. — 3 years ago

Intuition Vin De Pays Des Collines Rhodaniennes 2014

This is still an ass- kicking wine. Big, bold, Stoney, not your daddy’s gamay. Has that intense candied cherry mouth, but in a sophisticated way. Awesome stuff. — 6 years ago

Gerrie Family Estate

Thomas Gerrie Les Collines Vineyard Syrah 2016

This smell and tastes more Northern Rhône than the vast majority of Walla Walla Syrahs I’ve had. Nose is smoky, iron-y, bloody, with spicy sharp blackberry in the background. Relatively (for Walla Walla) lean and savory in the mouth, it’s got surprisingly good acidity. Should go well with the steak I’m about to grill outside. — 3 years ago
