Gilles Robin Crozes-Hermitage Alberic 2022
DOZEN: $732.00 or $61.00 each
2022 dark red; plum fruit, rose-floral airs, a nose with a genuine N Rhône Syrah aroma. The palate is well made, fits well together, has a flavour of intense red berry, raspberry coulis, red fruit gums, cooked fruits, has sure length, late salting. It actually gains reduction after 90 minutes! JOHN LIVINGSTONE-LEARNMONTH
The Albéric Red Crozes-Hermitage comes from old vines, approximately 70 years old, from three parcels on red clay soils close to the famed Hill of Hermitage. The fruit is de-stemmed and crushed to temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for fermentation over about 20 days. Extraction is by both remontage (pumping over) and pipeage (plunging) depending on the vintage and character of the fruit. Towards the end of ferment the wine is racked to oak barrels (30 % new) for the malolactic conversion, followed by 12-14 months maturation.
