2018 Crozes-Hermitage AOP les 4 Vents, Domaine les 4 Vents

The Crozes-Hermitage les 4 Vents is made from old Syrah plots in the vineyards Saviaux and La Rage, whose vines are between 30 and 40 years old. It is matured in used 600L barrels and in tanks, so it has only a little influence of wood in the taste.

The outstanding vintage 2018 impresses with the dark color with a violet tint. Cool fruit in the nose, some wood, liquorice, blackberries, black cherries, some violets, smells very young, but made from perfect ripened grapes. On the palate it has a medium to full body, very powerful for a Crozes-Hermitage, that usually produces a lighter Syrah style. The tannins are present, perfectly ripened and really fine, the wine is long and fairly complex. A very good Crozes-Hermitage, reminiscent of the strength and depth of its neighbors Hermitage. Organic wine FR-BIO-01.
