2020 Crozes Hermitage

Vininformation

92 point - Vinous: "Saturated violet color. Primary blackberry and cherry aromas are complicated by suggestions of cracked pepper, licorice and pungent flowers. Supple, appealingly sweet black and blue fruit flavors shows fine delineation and become spicier with aeration.  The spicy element adds lift and back-end cut and discreet tannins add grip to a persistent finish that leaves a juicy red berry note behind."

92 point - Decanter: "Full-bodied, plenty of substance and power. A very bold, structured style of Crozes-Hermitage, it's extracted but not overly so - this will last. Plenty of ripe-fruit tannins, those looking for a savoury, dry, powerful, structured Crozes with some ageing potential will like this."

91-93+ point - Jeb Dunnuck: "You can't go wrong with the Crozes Hermitage from Yann Chave, and the 2020 reveals a deep purple hue as well as a medium to full-bodied, round, wonderfully textured style that gives up classic darker Syrah fruit as well as peppery herbs, new leather, and hints of bouquet garni. I'd be happy to own bottles."

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.
