Domaine de la Ville Rouge - Crozes Hermitage Terre d'Eclat 2018

4/5 (2 reviews)

"A 12-month barrel ageing period has enhanced this red with toasty, spicy notes, adding a racy touch to the bouquet of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blueberry). Ample, full-bodied and well-structured, the palate loses none of its elegance, stretching out to a fresh, flavorful touch of Zan". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

Domaine de la Ville Rouge - Crozes Hermitage Paul 2018

4/5 (1 review)

"A racy Syrah

Selected from the best barrels of old Syrah vines over 40 years old, Cuvée Paul reflects even more of the appeal of its terroir, even "wilder" and sunnier. Hints of vanilla, licorice and dry earth lead to a palate of ripe plums, both velvety and full-bodied. Benefiting from a longer maceration, this cuvée de Vieilles Vignes perfectly expresses the richness of a racy Syrah.

Domaine de la Ville Rouge - Nathan 2018

"Freshness and summer fruit

"Briefly aged in vat and barrel, this wine opens with delicate notes of fresh almond, which are echoed in a tonic, chiselled palate that lets the white fruit speak for itself on the finish. A dynamic Crozes, remarkable for its freshness and balance, which has managed to overcome the heat of the vintage". (Guide Hachette des Vins 2021)

Domaine de la Ville Rouge - Inspiration 2016

3/5 (1 review)

"Aged mostly in stainless steel tanks, Crozes-Hermitage Inspiration 2016 offers notes of asphalt and licorice-spiced plum. It's medium-bodied and fully ripe, developing supple tannins on the mid-palate. Peppery spices emerge on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2017 - Robert Parker)
