Flattering nose with an appealing palette of fruity aromas (blackcurrant, redcurrant, plum). Fleshy and balanced on the palate with oaked notes and a pleasing finish.
Cherry and currant flavors are supported by a citrus acidity in this medium bodied red, with accents of garrigue, smoke and savory spice giving interest to the moderately tannic finish. Grenache, Syrah and Carignan.
Made from grapes grown on the gravelly chalky & clay soil of the hills overlooking the Dordogne. Gives off intense aromas of red & black fruit. Intense aromas of forest fruits smooth & generous on the palate opening brightly & lingering on a long finish.
Grenache noir 60%, Syrah 35%, Viognier 5%
Pure & energetic wine, with an objective of lightness and freshness while remaining firmly rooted in its region, bright fruits, and accents of garrigue.

Notes of ripe currants and black cherries with dried flowers, leafy herbs and walnut. Medium- to full-bodied, chewy and structured with velvety tannins and a firm, but refreshing finish.
90pts WS: A solidly built version, with crushed cherry and plum puree notes that meld with melted red licorice before singed juniper takes over on the finish. This has guts and range.
JS 90: Very brambly, rich and attractive tobacco, red and dark fruit and wild herbs. The palate has richness and an attractive feel with great core flesh and balance. Great mix of good quality, drinkability, and value.
An intense ruby robe, with prominent red fruit aromas enhancing the wine freshness supported by ample and harmonious tannins to express fruit.
Enjoy chilled with a creamy fish dish or at room temperature with red meats or poultry.
Plush and spicy black fruit on the palate with very nice backbone, complexity, structure and length. Fine depth. The wine has concentration, round textures and a dark, fruity finish. The wine was produced from 100% old vine
Merlot.
Robust scents of black fruit & vanilla. On the palate, fresh, elegant & refined, with soft, fruity, pleasing notes of blackcurrant &d spice. Delicious with white meat, grilled red meat, turkey & a range of hard cheeses such as swiss, cheddar, & gouda.
WA 91 : Marked by scents of cracked pepper and ripe cherries, the 2017 Crozes Hermitage is more concentrated and textured than the 2016. Medium to full-bodied, it finishes velvety, with hints of raspberries and licorice.
