Les Greffieux 2015
Rhône Valley - Ermitage
Ratings
Tasting notes
Appearance:
Garnet-red with subtle brick-colored highlights.
Nose:
Notes of red fruits with a hint of kirsch, black truffle, fur, and a touch of rhubarb.
Palate:
Full-bodied on entry with well-structured yet still vibrant tannins. Notes of red berries and wild fruits. Great complexity with a long finish.
Sommelier's advice: Les Greffieux offers another, less habitual, approach to L'Ermitage, with notes of blueberry intermingled with dense black pepper, and magnificent length.
Grape variety/varieties:
100% Syrah.
Harvest:
Hand-harvesting at maturity.
Soil:
The wine comes from the Greffieux situated at the foot of the Hermitage hill. The soil is made up with glacial alluvial deposit terrace composed of shingles and clay.
Vinification:
The harvest, totally destemmed, is vinified in cement vat. A long maceration allows a gentle tannin extraction. Only the free-run juice is used.
Ageing:
The wine is aged in barrel: a third in new casks and the other part in casks having matured wine once or twice before. Ageing lasts between 14 and 18 months. The clarification is natural and the wine is unfined.
