Domaine Rémi Niero - Crozes Hermitage Vie Magne 2020
88/100
Robert Parker
“New vintage”
"The first vintage of this wine, the 2020 Crozes Hermitage Vie Magne, is made from grapes grown on rounded stones and red clay soils around the town of Beaumont. It is beautifully full-bodied and round, with subtle notes of pepper and plenty of ripe cherries, a full palate, and a light dusting of supple tannins on the finish. It should be a pleasure to drink over the next few years.” (Wine Advocate 2022). • Please note: limited quantities available.

About the wine:
The first vintage of this wine, the 2020 Crozes Hermitage Vie Magne, is made from grapes grown on rounded stones and red clay soils around the town of Beaumont. It is beautifully full-bodied and round, with subtle hints of pepper and plenty of ripe cherries, a full-bodied palate, and a light touch of supple tannins on the finish. It should be a pleasure to drink over the next few years.
About the estate:
Tucked away on a small cul-de-sac in the heart of the village of Condrieu, Domaine Niero comprises just nine hectares of vineyards: four in Condrieu, two in Côte Rôtie, just over one in Saint-Joseph, and just under one in Crozes-Hermitage. There is also about one hectare dedicated to the Collines Rhodaniennes IGP, planted with both Syrah and Viognier. Although the clean, modern approach is undeniable, the wines are full of character and expressive of their different terroirs.

About the estate:
Since 2004, Rémi has been at the helm of this family-owned estate, which boasts a fine selection of terroirs in Condrieu, with 4 hectares divided into six plots. He also produces several Côte-Rôtie vintages from the Viallière and Bassenon terroirs, as well as a Saint-Joseph vintage, Bois Prieur, and another in Crozes-Hermitage. The wines are serious, rather classic, with aging that sometimes leaves a slight mark on them during their youth.
