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
Appearance : A beautiful reddish colour and looks dense.
Aroma : Surprises by its freshness, its balance and its fruitiness.
Taste : Rich palate with a supple and dense tannic texture, long finish with aromas of red and black fruit, and fresh mineral notes (graphite). Nice mix of balance and structure.
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 with grilled food.
