Paul Jaboulet Aîné
Domaine de Roure Crozes Hermitage Syrah
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
2016 vintage. From a 3,5 hectares vineyard planted with 60 years old Syrah vines on steep slopes with granite soils. This is as good as Crozes-Hermitage gets, tasting more like a Hermitage. Interestingly it feels somewhat light on its feet, even if it has serious concentration, combining elegance and power. Layered black juicy fruit, intense minerality and a panoply of spices with an impressively long mineral finish. Another terrific Jaboulet wine. Abv. 13,5 %.
