“A 12-month aging in oak barrels has endowed 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 well-structured, the palate loses none of its elegance and lingers with a fresh and flavorful hint of Zan. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (A well-crafted, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Although this vineyard was founded in 1919, it is the current generation that has really put it on the map. Sébastien Girard has transitioned the approximately 20 hectares to biodynamic farming. In the Saviaux and Châssis sectors of Crozes-Hermitage, the grapes ripen well—sometimes a bit too much when global warming comes into play. Thanks to the biodynamic practices implemented here, the wines retain their structure, remaining elegant and fresh, without succumbing to opulence or heaviness.
