2016 Crozes Hermitage

Vininformation

92 point, Decanter: "A dark, smoky, meaty expression - there's definitely a touch of the barbeque about this wine. It is medium to full-bodied, with good weight of fruit and ripe tannins. It has good weight and ripeness of fruit on the mid-palate, with good presence and intensity."

90 point, RobertParker.com – The Wine Advocate: “The soft-spoken Yann Chave owns 18,5 hectares in Crozes-Heritage, all of which are in the area of Chassis, a terroir of galets roulés and red clays. Viticulture has been organic since 2007. 2016 Crozes Hermitage features dark notes of asphalt, plum and licorice in a medium to full-bodied format, with a ripe, creamy mid-palate. Already approachable, it finishes with supple tannins and a burst of peppery spice. It should drink well for another 6-7 years. Anticipated maturity: 2018 – 2025.”

Yann Chaves traditionelle Crozes Hermitage cuvée er fremstillet af druer fra vinstokke plantet i domainets parceller ved byerne Mercurol, La Roche de Glun og Pont de l'Isère. Den gennemsnitlige alder på vinstokkene er 20 år. Druerne gæres traditionelt med ca. 24 dages skindkontakt, der sikrer farve, aroma og terroir definition. Resultatet er en usædvanligt lækker, intens og balanceret Crozes Hermitage med bløde tanniner og en lang finish.
