In addition to being one of the greatest wines of the appellation, this Crozes bears the name of its place of origin. Ironically, the plot is not very far from the cross-shaped power lines! Coincidence or not, this essence of Syrah has something electrifying in its energy and purity, with its notes of pepper, incense and blackberry. A great wine. Guide Vert RVF : 93/100

Technique

Viticulture

Les Croix, the parcel where we find the best terroir of the estate with 15% clay and a soil 1.5 m deep before the limestone subsoil. Yield: 35 to 40 hl per ha. The vines are cultivated using organic methods certified by eCoCert and BioDYViN. De-budding, lifting, removal of the inter-core and green harvesting are done manually.

Oenology

Harvesting and sorting by hand in the plot in crates. Sorting table and 100% de-stemming, vatting and de-vatting by gravity. Traditional vinification in concrete vats. Vatting for 28 to 32 days with punching down, pressing with a 5hl vertical press at low pressure. Aged for 12 months on fine lees, half in barrels of 2 wines and the other half in barrels of 4 to 5 wines.
