Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2016 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
Gilles Robin does not sell directly to consumers, but his Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph wines are available at wine shops and restaurants. The vineyards are well maintained, with a transition to organic farming currently underway. In 2009, a delay in ripening prevented the harvest of silky tannins, but the 2010 vintages have regained the freshness and body that define the estate’s style, in a flawless range this year, including the new and tiny Hermitage cuvée.

About the estate:
The Gilles Robin estate is one of the rising stars of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Always well-balanced, its wines are clean, straightforward, full-bodied, and rich, without excessive extraction or aging. They can be enjoyed young for their vibrant fruit, though they are robust enough to withstand a few years of aging. For lovers of rich yet elegant wine, this is a domaine not to be missed.
