Les Varonniers 2021
Rhône Valley - Crozes-Ermitage
Tasting notes
Appearance:
deep garnet red.
Nose:
very ripe red fruits, blackcurrant and raspberry, then liquorice.
Palate:
ample and solid, vanilla and jam final. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years.
Sommelier's advice:
A lovely freshness in direct contrast with the wine’s darkness and depth, exceptional concentration.
Food and wine pairing : All meats and poultry Cooked pork meats All cheeses
Grape variety/varieties:
Syrah. To elaborate our “Varonniers” wine, we have chosen our oldest Crozes-Hermitage vines (more than 60 years old on average).
Harvest:
Hand-harvested at maturity.
Soil:
The granitic slopes are oriented South-East at the end of the Hermitage hill and on fluvial terraces on the “Chassis” plot.
Vinification:
Vinification is made in small concrete tank. Fermenting is long and lasts around one month to polymerize tannins. Only free-run juice is used.
Ageing:
This wine is entirely matured in oak casks (with a percentage of new ones) from 14 to 18 months.
Alcohol content:
