The tank-aged 2015 Crozes Hermitage Papillon is another well-made effort from this estate and comes all from the Les Chassis region of the appellation (the southern flat plain). Plums, blackberry and hints of strawberries all give way to a plump, rounded, delicious quaffer that's ideal for drinking over the coming couple of years.

The 2014 Crozes Hermitage le Papillon from Gilles Robin offers a rather charming, forward and spice-filled personality that, today, is a joy to drink. Medium-bodied, nicely textured, with moderate acidity and lightly tannin, it's by no means is a powerhouse, yet has plenty of character and is ideal for near-term drinking.
