The palate has chalky minerality and a dry mouthfeel

Aromas of pomegranate

302 bottles that sees 97 days on the skins and 34 months of wood and cement aging

Vignobles Levet Cote Rotie La Chavaroche, Rhone, France 2022 Cuvee des Roys de Naples The palate has chalky mineralityThe 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. It is, quite simply, a ferocious and uncompromising wine an uninhibited expression of the appellation's smells and flavors: red plum, blackberry, iron, pepper and rose petal, full bodied and deeply structured with outstanding length.
