Our Crozes Hermitage “Les Jalets” comes from 6 ha of vineyard, located at “Les Jalets”, with additional purchased grapes. Its name comes from the word “jalets” which is the Old French word for the pebbles left by alpine glaciers, as can be found at Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
The 2006 harvest shows remarkable quality, due to careful leaf-thinning on the vines. The grapes were carefully selected during the harvest so that only the best fruit was used for production. Grapes were placed in 20 kg plastic crates for protection during transport to the winery.
Age of the vines: 25 years
Attractive bright ruby colour, with a violet hue. Aromas of tart red berries, with a spicy final note. Smooth, rich attack, finishing with liquorice notes.
“Bright and peppery, this crowd-pleasing Syrah is a candidate for by-the-case purchase. The quality of the 2006 vintage is evident in the wine’s concentration and deep black fruit flavors.” 2 Stars, Very Good, Food & Wine
