Tasting notes
Perfumed aromas of rose petal, violet, plum, blackcurrant and iron. This is very refined and pure, and it rivals many Hermitages and Côte-Roties (JRL)

The 2020 Crozes-Hermitage La Guiraude outperforms the 2022 in a landslide. Precise black cherry, red plum, cedar and pencil shaving come alive in the glass. Full-bodied, polished and complex, the 2020 engages the palate with ample personality and spot-on balance. It terminates with outstanding length on the fresh, savory finish. This is Crozes-Hermitage at its finest.
The 2020 Crozes-Hermitage La Guiraude is slightly richer, with lifted black cherry, currants, violets, and peppery, incense-like notes in a medium-bodied, fleshy, nicely textured profile. It's a successful Crozes that should have a decade of longevity.
