Vignobles Levet Cote Rotie La Chavaroche, Rhone, France 2022 Croce dei Monti lemon leaves and dried flowersThe cuve Vignobles Levet has made from the outset, from the Chavaroche lieu dit in Cte Rtie. Whole cluster Syrah, vinified in stainless steel and aged thirty to thirty six months in foudre and demi muids before bottling.
