Note di degustazione
Bright violet color. Displays smoky red and blue fruit aromas, along with floral and cracked pepper nuances. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering jammy black raspberry and cherry flavors and a hint of licorice. The spicy note recurs on a persistent finish that features gentle tannins and a hint of olive paste.

The 2018 Crozes-Hermitage Les Pierrelles is a classic Crozes, offering plenty of peppery blue fruits, violets, and earthy, almost bouquet garni-like nuances to go with a medium-bodied, supple, seamless style on the palate. It shows the riper style of the vintage yet has a terrific underlying minerality as well as freshness that keeps you coming back to the glass. It should keep nicely for 7-8 years, although there's no need to delay gratification either.
The 2018 Crozes Hermitage les Pierrelles made for a great start to my visit at this standout estate. It's grapey and intense, with hints of cedary wood accenting blueberry and blackberry fruit. It's full-bodied and supple, finishing lush and even a bit warm. It should be a lot of fun to drink as a young wine.
