This Crozes Hermitage is made from Syrah grapes grown on soils of granite slopes, pebble stones and terraces of the Rhône river. A perfect blend to offer a textured, smooth and juicy wine.

After a mild and dry winter, a spring without frost and a particularly hot summer, harvesting began several days later than 2015, with picking taking place between early to late September. During the harvest, weather conditions were truly exceptional, with warm clear days, fresh nights and some occasional light rainfall, stretching from early September all the way until the end of October. The sanitary state of the grapes throughout the region was excellent. So, this year again, the 2016 vintage is very qualitative.

Crozes-Hermitage


Vintage


2016



      




Grape Varieties: 
 
This Crozes Hermitage is made from Syrah grapes grown on soils of granite slopes, pebble stones and terraces on the left bank of the Rhône River.

 
Winemaking: 
 
Grapes are destemmed and crushed. The fermentation lasts around 20 days with temperature control to preserve aromas. Wine is racked off and undergoes malolactic fermentation. Maturing in vats for 8 months. Ageing in bottle.


 


Vegan Friendly.

 
Tasting notes: 
 
Crimson colour with bright deep purple reflects. The nose develops liquorice and violet notes. The palate is smooth, lively with stewed black fruits flavours and a spicy finish.

 
Service & food pairing suggestions: 
 
It will pair nicely with brochette of beef marinated with spices. Enjoy it now and over the next 5 years.

 



    

          
 
We have chosen the name « Saint Pierre » as a reference to the oldest monument of the department, the “Saint Peter tower”, which proudly overlooks the village of Serves sur Rhône, on the Crozes Hermitage appellation.
