Color: deep garnet with purple highlights. Nose: generous and refined, with ripe black fruits, violet, liquorice, black pepper and garrigue. Palate: broad, silky, dense and perfectly balanced. The ripe tannins are beautifully integrated, while the freshness brings tension and extends the finish, where spices, dark fruits and a delicate mineral note intertwine. Pairing: grilled lobster with reduced jus. Comment: a Crozes-Hermitage that is both generous and elegant.
