Wine advocate (vintage/millésime 2017) : 90
Jeb Dunnuck (vintage/millésime 2017) : 89-91 « The saturated purple-colored 2017 Crozes Hermitage Signature (brought up all in concrete) offers a slightly lifted bouquet of plums, blueberries, ground pepper, and gravelly minerality. It’s rich, medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated, and has a great finish, all pointing to this becoming a charming, outstanding wine » Jeb Dunnuck Jancis Robinson – “Tasted blind. Plummy fruit on the nose with decent concentration and a simple, balanced palate. The fruit ripeness makes up for the lack of complexity, which might emerge with time.” Robert Parker – « Bottled just 11 days prior to my visit, the 2017 Crozes Hermitage la Chasseliere comes from 40-year-old vines grown in the sectors of Pont de l’Isere and Mercurol. It spent 12 months in used barrels and an oak cuve and offers next-level intensity compared to the other Crozes- Hermitage’s at this address. Rich, tannic blackberries cascade over the full-bodied palate, adding hints of dark chocolate and espresso on the chewy finish »
