About the estate:
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate (2014 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
“This fledgling wine merchant was founded through a partnership between the Perrin family (of Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape) and Nicolas Jaboulet (former director of the family-owned Paul Jaboulet et Fils). Two heavyweights from the southern and northern parts of the valley, they produce a small collection of wines from the north. The wines are selected from the barrel before malolactic fermentation at the growers’ estates; aging is then completed at Perrin, near Orange. This is followed by blending. The style of the whites is precise, dry, and well-structured, offering a solid mid-range quality. To date, we prefer the vibrancy and depth of the reds.”

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

Wine rated (2018 guide) 90/100
About the wine:
The 2017 Crozes Hermitage boasts a deep purple color and a palate bursting with aromas and flavors of blackberry and black cherry, incense, and pepper. It has good acidity, medium body, noticeable tannins, and a long finish, making it an exceptional, high-quality wine that can be cellared for 6–7 years.

A wet, musty aroma. Smells like a corked wine.
