Closerie de St Hilaire 2008
About the wine
.
- Fans of la Croix du Chene, it is time to jump for joy. Our environmentally conscious French wine guru has done it again and made a little belter.
- Pierre has given us a real treat with this tasty Rhone red, a classic Grenache and Syrah blend bouncing with ripe fresh plums and damsons. It's incredibly smooth and elegant with a long full finish.
- It's got just enough chunkiness to it to stand up to a big slab of beef, but equally good with a good old fashioned bowl of pasta.
