Chapoutier Value Fades In Crozes-Hermitage
As discussed in previous posts, we’ve been exploring Rhone wines lately. In particular, we’ve been searching for another Rhone wine from Chapoutier, off the entry level 2007 Belleruche we enjoyed at Carlyle Grand.

I couldn’t coax Gabriele in front of the camera tonight — here’s my review. What’s your favorite northern Rhone? Let me know.
