2023 M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage Les Meysonniers

Fans of Rhône Syrah will no doubt be familiar with this textbook red. Mixed vintage conditions have given this expression a light touch with more elegance than recent years, it showcases classic notes of lifted violet and dried herbs opening into spiced dark plum and grilled meat flavours, all tied together with the silkiest tannins.

A well-balanced, peppery and chalky wine with aromas of dark berries, meat and fresh black pepper. It’s medium-bodied with chalky tannins. Inky and delicious, with a flavorful, tactile finish. From organically grown grapes.

Round and mouthfilling yet not heavy, with a mix of meaty notes and red fruit flanked by dusty red earth and bacon lard. The tannins are finely polished, for a ripe, chewy profile, with a sub- tle tug of tar, adding to the brooding density.
