Domaine Yann Chave, Le Rouvre, Crozes-Hermitage, 2010

Crozes-Hermitage is a vast area with magical pockets of soil and this wine comes from one of them, made in a tiny winery. The nose is full of opulent damson, liquorice, vanilla and cherries. Juicy and peppery on the palate, it’s a restrained and intriguing wine.
