Description

A renowned single-vineyard cuvée, Le Clos (Saint Georges) embodies an exceptional terroir, facing west, on the oldest terraces of Crozes-Hermitage, closest to the Rhône River. This 2.5 hectares vineyard, with a gentle slope, is naturally ventilated by the river, allowing it to retain a beautiful freshness. Renowned since 1857, this historic site, enclosed by a protective wall and rich in biodiversity, produces a rare and exclusive cuvée. Made from 100% Syrah.

This cuvée is a true interpretation of a unique place and terroir in Crozes-Hermitage. One of the most complex expressions of Syrah, combining the power of structure with an aromatic palette of fruits and flowers. A stunning expression of strength and finesse, a wine made for aging which reminds the Crozes Hermitage from the north of the appellation.

This wine is only produced in the very best years and its production is deliberately limited to 7,000 bottles

Review
A seductive core of red fruit is flanked by cigar box and pepper on a silky palate amply dusted in graphite, cured meat and sandalwood smoke. Simmers with inner density and energy yet manages to stay light on its feet as this stretches on and on. Harmonious and seamless. Drink now through 2030.
