Here’s what leading wine writer Bill St. John had to say about the 2011 M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage La Petite Ruche in last week’s Chicago Tribune:
2011 M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage “La Petite Ruche,” Rhone, France: All syrah, on the accessible side; mildly tannic, effusively fruity, round and rich; black cherry with grace notes of anise and earth.
