The profile of the reds is more ethereal than in recent years, showing remarkable aromatic complexity and a tannic structure characteristics of a true Syrah from the Northern Rhône Valley. Brightness, finesse and aromatic elegance are the hallmarks of this 2021 vintage. Grapes are harvested by hand during dry, sunny weather.
Winemaking Notes
Our Crozes Hermitage is vinified traditionally with punching down and pumping over taking place in concrete tanks. This wine is made from organically grown grapes. The exclusion of all chemical products (in particular herbicides), and the ploughing of the vineyards, enables the vine to plunge its root system deep down into the heart of the soil.
Deeper root systems make the vine's physiological behavior more even and provide better resistance to sudden changes in temperature.
The wine is aged 7 8 months in 100% stainless steel tanks in order to preserve the aromatic quality.
Vineyard Notes
South facing slopes. The soil consists of a mixture of clay, pebbles and gravel. The alluvial terroir of Crozes Hermitage was formed by terraces from the Rhône and Isère rivers.
