Gilles Robin Crozes-Hermitage Georges Reynaud 2016 24case Drained & pressed just prior

Drained & pressed just prior to dryness after 7 to 10 days on skins

even though all of the summer months were sunny and very dry

The attack is fruity and fleshy with a good liveliness on the finish

it is effectively dry with 7 g/l residual

sweet-skinsy character lingers really well
