2022 Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah “Les Hautes Ribaudes”

Lionel Faury
Discount Eligible $28.00
SOLD OUT

Lionel Faury may be best known for his sublime northern Rhône crus of Saint-Joseph, Côte-Rôtie, and Condrieu, but he also farms vines on the plateau just above these appellations. These Syrah vineyards sit at a slightly higher altitude and offer terrific values for Rhône wine lovers, creating a bright, crunchy wine that is irresistible in its youth. Lovely notes of blackberries and violets shine amidst a backdrop of granite minerals and soft brambly tannins, offering just as much lively refreshment as earthy intensity. 
     While great northern Rhône Syrah is perfectly suited to carnivorous pairings, Lionel’s “Les Hautes Ribaudes” is nimble enough to enjoy with lighter dishes—served cool, it complements just about anything. Consistently among the Rhône’s best values, it’s no wonder this is a longtime staff favorite.

Kermit inspecting wine barrels

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
