Rated estate (2014 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
This fledgling wine merchant was born out of a partnership between the Perrin family (of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and Nicolas Jaboulet (former director of the family business Paul Jaboulet et Fils). Two big names from the south and north of the valley, who are releasing a small collection of northern wines. The wines are selected from the barrel before malolactic fermentation at the winegrowers' premises, then matured at Perrin, near Orange. This is followed by blending. The style of the whites is precise, dry and straightforward, of a good intermediate level. To date, we prefer the brightness and density of the reds."

Vinous
Wine rated (2019 guide) 90/100
About wine:
Deep ruby red. Aromas of smoky black berries, olive, and candied violet are enhanced by a spicy hint of pepper. Supple and full-bodied on the palate, offering flavors of sour cherry, blackcurrant, licorice, and crushed pepper. A fruity style with dusty tannins slowly giving way to a spicy, lingering finish.

About wine:
The 2017 Crozes Hermitage has a saturated purple color and a palate full of aromas and flavors of blackberry and black cherry, incense, and pepper. It has good acidity, medium body, present tannins, and great length, making it an exceptional, high-quality wine to keep for 6-7 years.
