Related to Chapoutier in some way. Deep blackish crimson. Lively appetising nose, very rich and sinewy. Seems very Syrah? Lovely balance and texture – though very far from typical sweet Grenache.

Pierre-Henri Morel, who works with Michel Chapoutier, has his own estate in the southern Rhone, and these wines all emerge from his holdings and/or purchases. Obviously, the 2008s have to take a backseat to the 2009 bottlings, but I thought the wines fared well for such a tough vintage.
