This cuvée of Syrah Jeunes Vignes is an excellent introduction to the subject. Supple and greedy, it's a very expressive bottle, generous in fruit. The attack is frank, ripe fruit expresses itself, supported by harmonious, mellow tannins. A bottle with character, gourmet and easy to drink!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
A classic estate in the Mercurol area, regularly producing supple wines for early drinking. The gaby cuvée is often more ambitious, sometimes with woody notes that are a little too pronounced in certain vintages with little substance. The reds here are more successful than the whites, as confirmed by our tasting of the 2017s.

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
Located in Mercurol, the domaine proudly flies the flag for the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, of which it is one of the best, especially for the more ambitious and complex Gaby cuvées.
