This young Crozes-Hermitage, made from Syrah, is expected to display intense aromas of dark fruits like blackcurrant and blackberry, mingled with savory notes of black pepper, olive tapenade, and a hint of violet. Given the ‘Buveur d’Argile’ (drinker of clay) designation, it likely possesses a distinctive mineral backbone and a structured palate. On the palate, expect firm but ripe tannins, vibrant acidity, and a robust core of fruit and spice. The finish should be long and peppery, with an earthy complexity.
