The Crozes-Hermitage Saint-Jaimes comes from a plot in the hamlet of the same name, from vines over 40 years old that the grandfather of the current owners planted. Lucie and Nancy rely on whole grape fermentation, i.e. the entire grape, including the stems and seeds, is mashed and fermented without the addition of yeast, the entire maceration lasts about a whole month. After fermentation, the wine is stored in used 600L barrels for a year. Bottled without fining or filtration.
The premium 2017 vintage is very dark with a violet rim. The scent contains ripe fruits such as strawberries, cassis and blackberries, as well as a hint of liquorice. On the palate it is very concentrated, opulent and powerful with well-integrated tannins. An intense Crozes-Hermitage that even puts one or the other Hermitage in its pocket.
