Winemaking

Harvesting and sorting by hand on vines and on a 100% destemming and sorting table.
The traditional vinification is done in concrete vats, the vatting lasts about 30 days - the ageing then lasts 12 months on fine lees for 50% in barrels (having already contained several wines) and for 50% in concrete vats.

Tasting

What a success !
The "ambassador" vintage of the estate. An intensity of fruit that is rare at Crozes-Hermitage, and all the characteristics of a beautiful Syrah: exuberant aromas, spices... not forgetting the violet of course!
This magnificent nose displays effusive Syrah notes of violets, liquorice and violet raspberries. The palate is medium to full-bodied, lined with supple tannins and finished with notes of fresh fruit and dried spices.
A star wine! Fruit, lightness, elegance, suppleness, peppery... a few qualities that drive this wine crazy!
