Croix de Chabot 2022
Rhône Valley - Saint-Joseph
Tasting notes
Appearance:
black and purple
Nose:
the wine is intense on the nose and expresses a great deal of complexity and fine nuances, with delicate restraint: aromas of black fruits, spices (liquorice) delicately allied with more mineral, bloody notes. The final impression is one of more smoky aromatic notes (fireplace, soot, etc).
Palate:
on the palate, the wine is full and finely structured by coated tannins. The mouthfeel is powerful, well-balanced with lovely freshness and a lingering finish.
Grape variety/varieties:
Syrah, exclusively.
Harvest:
By hand.
Soil:
Granite and granitic sands. 30 year old vines, gobelet-trained and trellised on stakes in traditional fashion. Southeast facing slopes, enjoying excellent exposure to wind.
Vinification:
In wooden tank. With three weeks in vat. Traditional vinification. Gentle extraction by pumping over
Ageing:
Aging is carried out in concrete vats to fully preserve the mineral expression of this wine from selected vineyards.
Alcohol content:
12.5
