Palate
Beautifully fleshy and juicy, showing red fruit flavours accompanied by spicy notes and a hint of savoury black olive.
Vinification
The grapes are de-stemmed 100%. The Tanks are pumped over
morning and evening, with temperature control to obtain a fruitier wine. Vinification
lasts 3 weeks. The wine aged is 50% in vats, 50% in used barrels for 9 months
before bottling.
Region Notes
Crozes Hermitage comes from vines of average 30 years of age, planted on
alluvial soils of the Rhone appellation. The ground is covered with pebbles that
accumulate heat during the day which preserves well during the cool nights. The
100% Syrah vines are cultivated sustainably to limit any potential spraying. Leaf
plucking and green harvest to reduce the yields (average 35 Hl/Ha) improve the
aromatic intensity of the grapes.
