2019 Crozes-Hermitage Rouge, Marc Sorrel
Dry | Red | Still | 13%
This is grown in kaolinite soils, a clay-limestone soil that only accounts for around 1% of Crozes-Hermitage. These white soils result in highly mineral wines. This is so peppery, juicy, and bright, the vines have clearly enjoyed the vintage. There are deep tapenade notes running underneath the spiced red fruit, and the chalky tannins bring it all together nicely.
Ready: 2022 - 2030
