2015 Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah “l’Art Zélé”

Domaine Faury
Discount Eligible $32.00
SOLD OUT
At times it strikes me that Lionel Faury is out to conquer the world, although he himself seems unaware of it. He has certainly captured the heart of every salesperson at KLWM since he took over from his father, Philippe, who was already an icon in our eyes. This is the latest Faury wine we have introduced to the range we import, and thus it’s probably the least well-known, although that’s not going to last very long. From a parcel of vines on the plateau above Côte Rôtie, it is of course made from Syrah and has more in common with the domaine’s Côte Rôtie from Côte Brune than with its Saint Joseph. Buyers will receive a lot of wine for the price.

Inspiring Thirst

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
