M. Chapoutier Les Varonniers
AOP Crozes-Hermitage, Rhône, France
Tasting Notes
Colour: deep garnet red.
Nose: very ripe red fruits, blackcurrant and raspberry, then liquorice.
Palate: ample and solid, vanilla and jam final. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years.
Food Pairings
Great with roasted meats or grilled vegetables. Also pairs well with wood-fired pizza, pasta, casseroles and stews.
Harvest Notes
Hand-harvested at maturity.
Winemaking Notes
Vinification is made in small concrete tank. Fermenting is long and lasts around one month to polymerize tannins. Only free-run juice is used. This wine is entirely matured in oak casks (with a percentage of new ones) from 14 to 18 months.
Vineyard Notes
The granitic slopes are oriented South-West at the end of the Hermitage hill and on fluvial terraces on the "Chassis" plot.
To elaborate our “Varonniers” wine, we have chosen our oldest Crozes-Hermitage vines (more than 60 years old on average).
