Lots of red plums, darker cherries, violets, and peppery, lavender, and gamey notes emerge from the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Étincelle, a medium-bodied, balanced, elegant Crozes-Hermitage that has fine tannins and a good spine of acidity. It's going to drink nicely on release yet evolve for 7-8 years. JEB DUNNUCK
Denis Basset's first release under his own label was in 2007. The Domaine was born out of vineyards owned by Denis' father who sold his grapes to the Tain Co-operative. The Domaine has 15 hectares over Crozes-Hermitage and St-Joseph dedicated to Syrah with some Marsanne and Roussanne. The vineyards are farmed organically, manual harvest, ferments are in stainless steel without stems and élevage takes place in oak casks, the new population is maintained at 15%.
