Domaine du Colombier - Crozes-Hermitage Jeunes Vignes 2016
This cuvée of Syrah Jeunes Vignes is an excellent introduction to the subject. Supple and greedy, it's a very expressive bottle, generous in fruit. The attack is frank, ripe fruit expresses itself, supported by harmonious, mellow tannins. A bottle with character, gourmet and easy to drink!

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
A classic estate in the Mercurol area, regularly producing supple wines for early drinking. The gaby cuvée is often more ambitious, sometimes with woody notes that are a little too pronounced in certain vintages with little substance. The reds here are more successful than the whites, as confirmed by our tasting of the 2017s.

About the domain :
