Yann Chave Crozes Hermitage 2008

This wine was recently the pic of the bunch at the Majestic Wine Winter Press Tasting, and rightly so.




This 2008 Northern Rhone shows stunning white pepper aromas on the nose, with violets and cherries. A unique freshness of eucalyptus permeates through the wine.

On the palate this wine has a real savoury edge, and the white pepper attributes are back again to add another level. The tannins are quite taught but surprisingly refreshing. This wine is refined and elegant, and on a very good offer at the moment!
