by World Wine Estates

$313.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Billon ‘Les Corendies’ VdP Syrah is from 2 plots, St Cyr (planted in 2010-11) & Boucharey (planted part 1960s and part 2003). About 2,000 bottles made. Lovely deep colour, with blackberry & toasty oak aromas. There is attractive juicy red fruit on the palate, along with fine tannins. Cote Rote style.

2017 was another brilliant vintage following on the superb 2018’s – these wines will drink nicely from the get go, but should age really well.

About Christophe Billon Wines

Christophe Billon is a gentle unassuming man of the land, he worked for years as Guigal’s head viticulturist and slowly purchased plots of land in perfect locations. Over time he has become one of the finest producers of Syrah in France (if not the world). He will never be famous like the Guigal family as he is happy to stay small and expand very slowly – perhaps his kids will gain the fame.

Christophe Billon has been tending the vines of Côte Rôtie for years. His career really began after taking over his father’s modest estate of .017 ha on Cote Rozier. Whilst working as a viticulturist for the Guigal family he has built his own domaine holdings up to 3.5 ha in Côte Rôtie and 1.5 ha of Vdp. Most Cote vines, planted on the schist soils are around 30 years of age with some going back to the original plantings of 1942.
