2024 Matthieu Barret 'Petit Ours' Côtes du Rhône Chenin Blanc William Kelley: The 2024 Pouilly-FuisséA really black fruited, dark Syrah but the wine is really playful and juicy on the palate. Unique, as it is a Ctes du Rhne that is 100% Syrah and not a blend of Grenache etc making this wine entirely singular. Ideal smash burger wine.
