"Power and intensity"
"The succulent and savory flavors of blueberry and blackberry jam are engraved with notes of eucalyptus, iron, and earth in this powerful Syrah from 50-year-old organic vines. Aged for 18 months in large barrels, it is a fragrant and brilliant sip framed by soft, supple tannins and subtle acidity. At its peak now and through 2025." (Wine Enthusiast 2021) From the Saint-Jaimes plot planted over 50 years ago by Lucie and Nancy's grandfather, this cuvée movingly offers us all the intensity of the Crozes-Hermitage terroir.

Rated estate (2021 guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, but where we are unable to give an overall opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the estate:
Lucie and Nacy Fourel took their vines out of the cooperative winery in 2010, the year of their first vintage. Today, their 10 hectares are vinified using indigenous yeasts and without SO2, with more convincing results for reds than whites.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rating (2020 guide) 89-91/100 (Outstanding wine)
Rated Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About wine:
The 2017 Crozes Hermitage Saint-Jaimes offers appealing hints of cedar and menthol alongside its blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. A medium-bodied to full-bodied wine, it is lively and taut on the palate, then finishes with chewy tannins. If these soften before the fruit fades, my rating may seem conservative.
