Fayolle Crozes-Hermitage Rouge La Rochette is made from 25-year-old vines planted on loess and red granitic soils. 100% Syrah.
Deep ruby red color.
The wine has plenty to offer with red and black fruit aromas, as well as a good minerality.
The finish is long, clean and juicy and offers some white pepper spiciness typical of the best Crozes-Hermitage.
Soil type is red brittle granite and white soil.
Hand harvested in small crates. The grapes are then pumped into tanks (full cluster, not destemmed).
It will stay in this tank for 15 days for the skin contact maceration and the Alcoholic fermentation.
They will also use the "rack and return" technique (delestage).
Then the wine is transfered into neutral French Oak barrels where the wine will complete the Malo-Lactic fermentation.
Review:
"The 2018 Crozes Hermitage La Rochette kicks off with bold blueberry aromas accented by hints of cracked pepper and clove—but this is no mere fruit bomb. The medium to full-bodied palate shows ample depth and tannic structure, adding savory notes of black olives and leather, then finishes long and smooth. It's a terrific wine for drinking over the next decade. - Joe Czerwinski"
