Tasting notes
The violet-scented 2015 Crozes Hermitage offers soaring aromatics (not always found in the 2015s), with peppery spice and loads of raspberry-cherry fruit. It's full-bodied, creamy and supple in the mouth, with a long, spicy finish redolent of cracked pepper and anise. It should drink well for close to a decade.

Aromatic, quite a piercing nose in fact. But on the nose it's a tad skinny – more typical than some 2015 Crozes. Just a little austere. (JR)
Looking first at her two whites, the 2015 Crozes Hermitage Blanc (50/50 Marsanne and Roussanne) sports a medium gold color as well as lively, crisp notes of brioche, baked apples and peach in its medium-bodied, pure, elegant style. It needs 3-6 months of bottle age and will drink well for a couple years.
