Last week I bought a bottle of 2007 Chapoutier Crozes HermitageLes Meysonniers (price about 14 euro) We enjoyed with firends on a cruise. The wine was good, better than the free wine on board but without a lot of depth, short finish and I thought just a tad sour-too much acidity?
Last night decided to try another version of Crozes from Domaine Combier this time a 2005. Much fuller in the mouth and with a better, not much, but slightly longer finish. Fruity and a very nice accompaniment for ground round.
If choosing I would go for the Dom. Combier, but the price on the Chapoutier wasn't bad (picked up in a little store in St Malo probably not the best price in town, but I was craving a little Rhone. Joseph Coulter Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations LLC
