Domaine de la Ville Rouge - Crozes Hermitage Terre d'Eclat 2018
1*Étoile
Hachette
“A 12-month aging in oak barrels has imbued this red with toasty and spicy notes, adding a touch of sophistication to the bouquet of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blueberry). Full-bodied, rich, and robust, the palate retains its elegance and lingers with a fresh, savory hint of Zan. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)
