Crozes-Hermitage Petite Ruche Rouge 2022 6x75cl

A beautiful nose of red berries, blackcurrant and raspberry followed by a palate with beautiful freshness and roundness.

Vineyards

From rocky terrace vineyards where the soil is composed of high alluvial deposit terraces with a lot of shingle.

Vintage

We had to “keep calm and carry on” throughout this season of drought and heat to constantly adapt the winegrowing work right up to the last minute; responding fast to curb the vegetation when the welcome rains arrived and remaining patient to allow the grapes to reach full maturity. All this made 2022 an astonishing vintage that, as it turned out, was more luminous than sunny.

Winemaking

This Crozes-Hermitage is vinified in cement vats with two pumpings over per day. Vatting lasts between 3 and 4 weeks after the alcoholic fermentation. Aged in vats.

Enjoy with:

Great with roasted lamb or barbecue meats.
