The day that I tried Stephane Pichat’s wines years ago, was the day that I fell in love with Cote Rotie. I’ve always loved Syrah and wines from the Rhone, but nothing has taken my breath away quite like the Pichat wines did. Especially the “Grandes Places”. It really is quite special. It’s deep and brooding but not at all lacking in the fruit department. It’s just all I want and usually what I grab for a special occasion… Age it if you can. I can’t seem to be able to, lol.

Cheers!
