Description

Only made in certain years and coming from a single lieu-dit, Les Saviaux, Emmanuel is particularly fond of this parcel due to its lighter but deeper soils which lend a mineral element to this wine. The ’20 is stunning with super concentrated, ripe fruit. A depth of minerality on the palate lifts to feel light and elegant in the mouth. Superb.

About this wine

Crozes-Hermitage

This is the largest AC in the Northern Rhône, producing over half of the Northern Rhône’s total production. The appellation was created in 1937 with the single commune of Crozes, but today there are 11 communes. The Syrah variety is king, but Marsanne and Roussanne are also permitted (up to 15 percent). The wines vary hugely in quality and style, with the majority of the reds fairly light in style.
