A fruit-forward Crozes-Hermitage that’s elegant and approachable. A fresh and fruity expression of Syrah. Fleur de Syrahne is a delightful wine to share, with lovely notes of cherries and dark fruits, striking a balance between power and freshness. A pleasant and well-crafted red wine, best served slightly chilled. Simply a lovely wine worth discovering!

Review by Mr. Gilles D. Posted on April 4, 2024

A tasting of this rather uninspiring Crozes-Hermitage, which seems to have no other ambition than to be fresh and fruity, with a light structure and a smooth texture leading to a brief, slightly tense finish. On the surface, the goal of the short aging in stainless steel tanks has been achieved, but at a high cost. By comparison, the Les Jalets from JABOULET and, even more so, the Laurent from COMBIER are a cut above. A spring wine to be enjoyed quickly and casually with burgers, pizza, or grilled merguez sausages. Rating = 3.4.
