Issu uniquement de très vieilles vignes sur les Terroirs Majeurs de l’Appellation, cette cuvée a de faux airs de “Petit Hermitage”. La bouche est ample et dense. Un vin promis à un bel avenir !
Le millésime

Conséquences incontestables et flagrantes du changement climatique ?
Le Vignoble Rhodanien a connu ces deux dernières années, deux millésimes extrêmes, paradoxaux et diamétralement opposés.
2021, gélif, frais et pluvieux. 2022 excessivement sec et solaire. Ce constat nous laisse perplexe et interrogatif sur l’avenir du vignoble. Notre appréciation globale des premiers jus es...

Gorgeous quince, honeyed flowers, spice, and some classy, savory herb notes all emerge from the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Vieilles Vignes Blanc, a round, supple, layered Crozes that has beautiful purity and precision while staying rich and textured.

A delicious white with apples, grapefruit, lemon rind and baking spices on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with fresh acidity. It has a fruity and succulent character on the palate. Precise and poised with a flavorful, developing finish.

Plump and alluring, with a juicy mix of peach, chrysanthemum and pear notes gilded with salted green herbs and a hint of buttercream. Full-bodied, with wet stone minerality and a bitter spike of grapefruit pith nicely balancing the warmth and weight. Marsanne and Roussanne.

A full-bodied, oaked cuvée, which is also ripe in fruit and with high alcohol. Extremely seductive to taste, it's explosively flavoursome but heady and rich – would be good with food. Appealing freshness under the oak, this will last. Fermented and aged for eight months in new and one-year-old barrels.
