Award: IWC Red Winemaker of the Year 2009
Syrah à petit grain is the only grape variety making up this Crozes-Hermitage "La Maurelle" cuvée . A clean 2007, with great finesse and lovely aromatic richness, on notes of ripe stone fruit (cherries, plums, blackberries) mingled with floral notes of violets. Supple, mellow tannins give this wine fullness, volume and balance. A must-try!
