Description
Sumptuous cherries line the medium to full-bodied palate of the 2018 Crozes Hermitage les Varonniers. Underneath—for the moment—are stony notes of granitic reserve, which I wouldn't be surprised to see emerge even more with time. For now, this looks plush and fruity, but don't be misled—there's more here. WA 92-94

The 2018 M. Chapoutier Crozes-Ermitage Les Varonniers is a testament to the rich and intense character that the Rhone region is celebrated for. This organic and biodynamic wine, with its deep garnet red appearance, invites you to explore its complex bouquet of very ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, and raspberry, followed by a hint of liquorice. On the palate, it is ample and solid, offering a symphony of vanilla and jam-like flavors that lead to a persistent finish. Matured in oak casks for up to 18 months, this wine showcases the meticulous winemaking process and the exceptional quality of the oldest vines from the granitic slopes of Crozes-Hermitage. Enjoy this wine's full potential by decanting for two hours and pairing it with robust dishes such as grilled lamb chops or beef bourguignon.
