Lindy and I back in Lyon after 30 years!

In a Northern Rhone Valley cellar dating back to 1700s with the Cote Rotie in oak barrels from the forest commissioned by Napoleon for his ships. Up on the Cote Blonde hills (next to the Cote Brune). Matthieu, the wine maker is rugby man and is heading to Dublin to watch All Blacks Ireland.

Excellent Syrah with a small proportion of Voigner (white wine). 

Also, we enjoyed the 100 per cent Syrah from the region.
