2021 Chateau Sulauze 'Charbonnieres', Provence, Vin de France Golan Heights Winery 65% whole cluster fermentation70% Grenache, 30% Syrah; A ridiculously gulpable wine that would convince any Grenache naysayers that this variety can be lifted, bright and nuanced. It's L'Anglore esque, but at 1 4 of the price and with a smidge of Syrah to add complexity and spice.
