Crozes-Hermitage “Saint Pierre” 2020

AOP Crozes-Hermitage Red

Tasting

Very elegant with subtly grilled notes, our Crozes Hermitage offers flavours of white pepper and fresh plum in a beautiful finesse. Long and well-balanced on the palate.

Food & wine pairings

It pairs nicely with a Basque chicken, cold cuts or also a Piperade (typical Basque dish).

Detailed information

Vintage

Throughout the year, the planets were perfectly aligned: no frost, winter rains to replenish the soil and a generous summer sunshine without excessive heat. These ideal climatic conditons resulted in very healthy grapes and an excellent sanitary state. A remarkable vintage as much by the quality of the berries as by the duration of the harvest ! (8 weeks)

Grape varieties

Syrah

Terroir

The Syrah grapes for this Crozes Hermitage are sourced from several terroirs, including the quaternary terraces around Mercurol and the colluvium and sandy plane of “Les Chassis”.

Winemaking

The grapes are destemmed and crushed. Fermentation, which is strictly temperature-controlled to preserve the fruit and aromatic freshness, took place in tank and lasted for around 20 days. The wine was then racked off to undergo malo-lactic fermentation before maturing another 8 months in tank. Vegan wine.
