Domaine Rousset
Les Picaudiéres Crozes-Hermitage Syrah
Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Best terroir in Crozes. Nose is herbal, rocky, with bright berry fruit, super mineral and loamy. Loads of wet earth, almost moss. Blackberry coming with air. Palate is exquisite, complex, bacony, meaty, juicy and so so deep. So fresh and pure. Exceptional density and loads of granitic minerality. Long and complex with terrific restrained opulence. Lovely. Really showing well.

Palate is huge, juicy and ridiculously complex. Refined yet shows the warmth and intensity of the vintage but also the brilliant freshness and depth. Super long and one of the most mineral driven Crozes I’ve ever had. Great wine.

Cotton Bowl '17. Good balance of substantial but easy enough to drink syrah. Freezing cold night, felt hearty but easy when mostly paying attention to football.

I swore off Crozes a few years ago. It was a good decision.
