Aromas of lilies, almonds, fresh butter and grapefruit peel. Medium-bodied with articulate acidity that lifts the palate up and carries it elegantly across the palate. Succulent fruit. Fresh. Lovely.
Aromas of strawberry, raspberry and hibiscus. Medium-bodied with steely mineral character. Gentle tannins. Roses and juicy berries on the palate.
A rather inviting nose of fresh flowers, wet stones, dried lemon peel and a hint of hazelnut. Medium-bodied with a tight mousse. Mineral and dry. Plenty of drive here. Really focused and so delicious.
Another outstanding wine from this team, the 2021 Cornas Domaine De Saint Pierre comes from higher elevation sites in Cornas (400 meters in elevation) and has a medium-bodied, juicy, elegant profile as well as ample darker black cherry and peppery, herbal nuances. It’s an impeccably made, successful 2021 that has fine tannins and outstanding length. Drink bottles over the coming decade.
The 2021 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine De Thalabert is pretty and elegant, with medium-bodied aromas and flavors of ripe black cherries, truffly earth, and peppery herbs. It’s nicely balanced, has juicy, integrated acidity, and outstanding length. It’s an undeniable success in the vintage.
