Description
Only made in certain years and coming from a single lieu-dit, Les Saviaux, Emmanuel is particularly fond of this parcel due to its lighter but deeper soils which lend a mineral element to this wine. The ’20 is stunning with super concentrated, ripe fruit. A depth of minerality on the palate lifts to feel light and elegant in the mouth. Superb.

Critics reviews
100% Syrah. Tank sample.
Quite different to the other wines on show from this domaine. Concentrated, dark, fleshy, oak to the fore. Nice spice and freshness on the palate. It lacks a little depth, but there is plenty of attractive dark fruit here. Mineral notes on the long finish. Good acidity. Purity and freshness to finish.

I loved the 2020 Crozes-Hermitage Au Fil Du Temps, and this beauty has everything you could want from a great Crozes. Deep purple-hued, with gorgeous dark fruits, peppery herbs, spring flowers, and background oak, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, and a great finish. It's a stunning Crozes readers will love to have in their cellar. It's great today yet should evolve for well over a decade.
