Description

The vineyard of Crozes Hermitage isn't as old as that of Hermitage. It developed over this century towards the south to the detriment of fruit orchards.

In the north the terroir is composed of granite slopes similar to those of Hermitage. In the south the soil is mainly alluvial with a few stony terraces brought by the Rhône river. The vines are south facing, on slopes where the Mistral blows frequently. The wines produced in the North and those in the South of the appellation are very different.

Tasting

The vintage: After the solar and Mediterranean 2015 vintage, 2016 is very structured and fresh. The wines are flattering right from the first months but their balance will carry them for many years.

Appearance: This wine has a beautiful purple and dense red color.

Aroma: The nose has fresh aromas of violet, red fruit and minerality with a hint of spices (Sichuan pepper).

Palate: This wine is balanced between freshness and density in the mouth. The tannins are velvety.The palate is on aromas of liquorice and fruit with notes of violets. A nice match between balance and structure.

Food pairing: Perfect with grilled food.

Service: This wine offers immediate pleasure. As soon as you open it the fruit is there. You can serve this wine at about 16-17°C.
