Crozes-Hermitage La Rouvre 2019 Yann Chave
Crozes-Hermitage 2019 is a natural red wine from the Rhone Valley produced by Yann Chave. The Syrah grapes from which it is made come from the terraces of Chassis, from plants that are no less than 50 years old.
After a total destemming of grapes, maceration is done for about 4 weeks and fermentation is done in a controlled way with frequent pumping over. This is followed by aging in medium oak casks (demi-muid of 600l) for about 1 year.
Yann Chave's Crozes Hermitage "Le Rouvre" expresses in the glass an intense ruby red color, with purple hues. The complex nose offers hints of ripe red fruit such as black cherries and morello cherries, violet petals, spices and hints of leather. The sip is deep, elegant, with tannins present but silky and well blended.
