The exceptional 2009 Crozes-Hermitage is one of the top wines of the vintage. A complex bouquet of black olives, licorice, ground beef, spring flowers and red and black currants soars from the glass of this 100% Syrah that is aged in 3-year-old barrels as well as larger foudres. With remarkable density, this evolved, approachable, delicious, full-bodied Crozes should drink well for a decade. Robert Parker.

Des tanins gras, une bouche charnue au fruité noir et réglissé, un ensemble frais et gourmand, représentatif des différents styles de l’appellation.
