M. Chapoutier, Crozes-Hermitage "Petite Ruche" Rouge 2013
M. Chapoutier, Crozes-Hermitage "Petite Ruche" Rouge 2013
750ml Alcohol Content: 12-13% Colour : intense purplish red. Nose : red berries, blackcurrant and raspberry. Mouth : fresh and round, final of fruits. All is in fineness.
Delicious Syrah made from grapes grown in the northern Rhone's largest appellation, Crozes-Hermitage. There's no oak used in the vinification of this wine, so all the rich flavours have good concentration. Inky purple fruit character, popped and poured, intense tinned blackberry juice, liquorice aromas, quite robust tannins, and spice and pepper that shines through on the finish. Superb value from one of the Rhone's most talented winemakers. Very good, fairly humble Crozes, classic rhone syrah nose, slightly peppery with a touch of fat. Had a decent decant, but still very tannic and drying on the palate, probably needs a year or two to settle down, or drink with rich food like meats, lamb, steaks and poultry, cooked pork meats, such as pork tenderloin and all cheeses.
