This vintage has aged rather quickly

The palate has chalky minerality and a dry mouthfeel

The NV (2013) Extra Brut VP (Viellissement Prolongé) is fabulous

It is light and refreshing making a good choice for an aperitif

There is more freshness in the 2020 La Vizcaína El Rapolao

Vignobles Levet Cote Rotie La Chavaroche, Rhone, France 2022 Cuvee des Roys de Naples This vintage has aged ratherThe 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.
