This rich and meaty but low fat cut is great for grilling

Chateau Fonsalette Cotes du Rhone 2007 syrah This rich and meaty butI have followed the Fonsalette Cotes du Rhones since the mid 1960s, and it is a candidate for one of the finest and longest lived Cotes du Rhones in nearly every top vintage.

It is medium to full bodied, relatively evolved for a Fonsalette, but dont let that confuse you,
