Tasting note Colombier Crozes-Hermitage

Deep red French wine from syrah grapes with an intense fruity aroma of blackberries and black currants. The full flavor goes very well with spicy meat dishes or spicy pasta.

Description

Florent Viale is one of the leading producers in the Northern Rhône. In addition to the famous and powerful Hermitage, he makes an accessible and refined red Crozes-Hermitage.

Viale emphasizes the expression of the ripe fruit of the syrah grape so that its wines can also be drunk young. A relief in a selection tasting with other producers who try to make their Crozes-Hermitage like a concentrated Hermitage.

However, the difference in terroir is too great and the attempts usually result in too tannic wine with a drying flavor structure. Wonderful red wine. Viale works organically but is not (yet) certified.
