Crozes Ermitage, Les Varonniers 2021, Maison M. Chapoutier
£659.40
£54.95 per bottle
A refined, textural and well-composed red with aromas of dark cherries, forest berries, cured meat, black pepper and graphite. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Focused and well-driven, with a core of dark berries and spices dominating on the palate. It’s funneled and rather intense, with a powdery texture toward the finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
