Celestin Planchon Cepage Syrah 1995 (6 * 50cl)
Producer / Background
Celestin Planchon is a traditional French negociant-style bottler known for limited-run regional wines, often Rhone-varietal driven. Bottlings from the 1990s, especially single-varietal Syrah, were typically small-production and aimed at local/regional French distribution. Half-litre formats were uncommon, making surviving examples collectible but quite niche.
