A beautiful nose of red berries, blackcurrant and raspberry followed by a palate with beautiful freshness and roundness. Pairs beautifully with roasted lamb or barbecue meats. Also is nice with pizza, pasta, casseroles, stews and mature strong cheeses.
Estate
With roots dating back to 1808, M. CHAPOUTIER is one of the oldest companies in the Rhône Valley. Yet, its world renown and the quality of wine can truly be accredited to the arrival of Michel Chapoutier in 1990. His willingness to change the set way, thirst for knowledge and open-mindedness, together with his drive to seek, discover and reflect the full potential of our terroirs, letting the soils express their true character, has put our wines firmly on the wine world map. This philosophy is what gives our wines their signature style, forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos and drives our team to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.
Vineyard
The soil is composed of high alluvial deposit terraces with a lot of shingle.
Vinification
This Crozes-Hermitage is vinified in cement vats with two pumpings-over per day. Vatting lasts between 3 and 4 weeks after the alcoholic fermentation. Aged in vats.
