Decanter Magazine’s only ‘Outstanding’ 2010 Crozes Hermitage, &\u00a0for under \u00a320!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

‘2010 is a vintage of supreme, succulent Syrah fruit in the northern Rh\u00f4ne and in this tasting I tried wines I wanted to drink there and then – a hallmark of good Crozes-Hermitage.’ <\/em>Jonathan Livingstone-Learmonth<\/span><\/p>\n

Decanter Magazine’s most recent Panel Tasting (September 2012 edition) focusses on Crozes-Hermitage 2010, rating one wine out of sixty -seven as ‘outstanding’<\/span><\/strong>; Gilles Robin’s Crozes Hermitage 2010 ‘Cuv\u00e9e Alb\u00e9ric Bouvet’<\/strong>, with an average score of <\/span>18.75 points\/20 (95+pts\/100).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This fabulous northern Rh\u00f4ne is available to order* (for delivery in October) at \u00a3215.40 per dozen (\u00a317.95 bottle)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Stephen Brook:<\/span> Lush, vibrant black and blueberry nose. Sleek and silky, concentrated, elegant acidity, lively aftertaste with lots of pepper on the finish. Classic Crozes – not too weighty or extracted but stylish and long.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jonathan Livingstone-Learmonth:<\/span> Blackberry, floral and fennel perfume. Focused, juicy black fruit palate. Liquorice, chocolate and coffee on the finish. Good typicity of terroir, good energy and life. Drink 2012- 2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also and immediately available<\/strong> the younger vines version of this great wine, Gilles Robin’s Crozes Hermitage<\/span> 2010 ‘Cuv\u00e9e Papillon’<\/a><\/strong> at \u00a3177.00 per dozen (\u00a314.75 bottle).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There could hardly be a more appetising introduction to 2010 northern Rh\u00f4ne red than this early drinking cuv\u00e9e from the energetic Gilles Robin of Mercurol. It sees no oak and is bottled in May, after light micro-oxygenation to avoid the reduction to which Syrah is prone, according to John Livingstone-Learmonth in his superb The Wines of the Northern Rh\u00f4ne, and the idea is to provide us with pure pleasure. I would love to drink this any time over the next two years, but can\u2019t see much point in ageing it because it is already so pure and flattering with admirably polished tannins and lovely sappy fruit. <\/em>www.JancisRobinson.com<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
