Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Spectator (92): A harmonious, round and textural Crozes-Hermitage. Aromas of dark cherries, dried herbs, cassis and violets on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannin and a vivid core of peppercorns through the palate. A caressing texture combines with the lively, spicy character of the mid-palate. Precise and pure. More compact in the finish. Try from 2025.
