92 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
Jean-François Ranvier and François Dauvergne teamed up to create a very unique approach to building a brand focused on quality from vine to finished wine.
Winemaker's Notes:
Almost purple, deep red
Nose is dominated by black fruits (blackcurrent, blackberry)
Hint of red acidulated fruits (redcurrent) and violet
Palate is soft in the attack, followed by a powerful mid palate
Tannins are ripe and give a good structure which promises longevity
Matches perfectly with poultry, will be appreciated with roasted beef or cow’s milk cheese
Technical Information:
100% Syrah
Ratings & Reviews
92 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
“A slightly brawny-edged style, with notes of charcoal and tobacco framing dark plum, fig and black currant fruit. Light bramble and chestnut accents run through the dark finish. Some cellaring should tame this. Best from 2019 through 2024. 2,000 cases made.†–JM (Nov 30, 2017)
90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
“I loved the 2015 Crozes Hermitage Grand Vin, a beauty brought up all in tank. It offers classic notes of ripe black (and blue) fruits, damp earth and new saddle leather in a medium to full-bodied, polished, beautifully pure style. The tannin is polished, and it has good mid-palate depth and a great finish, all suggesting it will age gracefully for 7-8 years.†- Jeb Dunnuck (Dec 30, 2016)
