Giles Robin Papillon Crozes Hermitage 2022

"Gilles Robin set up the estate in 1996, having previously farmed his parcels for the local cooperative. The vineyard covers around 18 hectares around Mercurol, on the southern flat-land section of Crozes-Hermitage — the larger of the two appellation zones, on clay-limestone alluvium rather than the granite of the Hermitage hill itself.

Roast duck, lamb chops, grilled sausages, mushroom-led dishes and northern Rhône charcuterie boards; a working cellar-list Crozes-Hermitage.
