The wine region of Crozes-Hermitage
Largest cru of the northern Rhône around Tain: signature Syrah as the exclusive king red - fruity and accessible with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, raspberry, violet, black pepper and a black-olive touch, supple tannins, more approachable than Hermitage. Marsanne and Roussanne in ample whites (peach, apricot, honey, white flowers, almond). AOC (1937), ~1,700 ha over 11 communes (Drôme), granite on northern slopes, pebble-loess on the plain, ageing 3-8 years.
The wine region of Rhone Valley
France's 2nd-largest AOC vineyard, two complementary worlds. Northern: pure Syrah in signature reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas), deep and peppery with blackberry, violet, black olive and smoked bacon notes, exceptional ageing. Opulent Viognier whites (Condrieu, apricot, flowers) and ample Marsanne-Roussanne. Southern: sun-soaked Grenache blends at Châteauneuf, Gigondas, Vacqueyras (candied fruit, garrigue).
The word of the wine: Reassembly
During the vinification process, a "cap" is formed at the top of the vats with the solid parts (skin, pulp, pips, etc.), which contain tannins and colouring elements. Pumping over consists of emptying the vat from the bottom and pouring the juice back to the top, in order to mix the cap and the juice and to favour the exchange and the extraction. This old technique allows a better exchange between the solid parts and the liquid.
