This is classic fresh, tarry Syrah on the nose, made in an elegant northern Rhône style, and showing spicy red and black fruits flavours and distinct, cool climate peppery undertones; it's elegantly balanced, juicy and moreishly drinkable.

Supple and smooth on the palate, this lovely, plummy Crozes has savoury, autumnal fruit and fine tannins.
Tim Atkin - Wines of the WorldGuardian / Observer
Inviting aromas of violet and crushed cherry are laced with a sanguine hint, while fresh acidity drives the finish, which is filled with red fruit and floral notes. Has lovely purity and balance.

Winemaking
This cuvee is elaborated solely with old vines from the major terroirs of the Estate (Rochas, Monico, Terres rouges). The blending is firstly based on Syrah grapes whose early maturity brings feminity and spices to this civilized Syrah wine. This cuvee includes another Syrah style, more rustic, with ripe fruits and elegant tannins, which blends ideally with the first one. Finally, a deeper Syrah style, red fruits gorged, completes ideally Albéric Bouvet which, during its ageing, will give the pleasure of a noble Syrah, deep with a unique character. The revelation of the nicest terroirs from Gilles Robin Estate and the blending of every Syrah style are key to this cuvee.
