Gabriel Meffre signature Crozes Hermitage

2018

description_recompenses

2018 was atypical in many ways. This vintage required a constant presence from the vineyards to the cellar. After a mild Winter, the wet and rainy Spring gave way to a beautiful Summer, favoring a perfect growth of the grapes. September then ushered in an Indian Summer that proved to be more than ideal for harvests with cool nights and warm & sunny days. The grapes were harvested for a total of 8 weeks at optimal maturity and under ideal climatic conditons. The result is an elegant vintage with a particularly aromatic profile and a superbe balance.

Note de dégustation:

"The 2018 Crozes-Hermitage St Pierre is slightly more fruit-foward, with a fleshy, ripe, yet elegant style to go with lots of blue and black fruits, ground pepper, and earthy minerality. Nicely textured, balanced, and with a solid mid-palate” Jeb Dunnuck (12/12/2019)

It pairs nicely with lamb and tomato.

It will improve in the cellar in the next 7 to 8 years.
