Rousset Crozes Hermitage
Vintage: | 2020 |

Description: | A gentle, jovial, quiet, and extremely humble man, Stphane Rousset remains a relatively unknown gem in the Northern Rhne. His wines are built on solid craftsmanship and a clear muting of his voice in deference to those of his terroirs. Stephanes first red Crozes-Hermitage Rouge in the range is lifted, aromatic, elegantly textured, and the most immediately ready to go upon opening. The parcels that produce this spicy, garrique-scented charmer are scattered among the communes Crozes-Hermitage, Erme and Gervans, always on granite bedrock but with small pockets of loess topsoil while the rest have topsoil derived from the granite bedrock. Its a Northern Rhne Syrah that demonstrates elegance, accessibility and suave palate texture. This is partly due to its vinification and aging, but also to its soil composition. The airy, fine-grained loess topsoil brings the lift, and granite bedrock the thrust. |
