    Winemaker Notes

    Olivier Ravoire Crozes Hermitage is an intense ruby color. The wine has a deep and intense bouquet with notes of black fruit reminiscent of blackcurrant and spice. A smooth yet powerful wine that is elegant and well-0structured.

    I have created a range of wines exclusively made from the very best grapes that the Rhône Valley has to offer, adapted to a wide diversity of gastronomic styles. Day after day I took inspiration from meeting exceptional wine producers in the heart of the Rhone vineyards, much in the manner one would collect treasures acquired during the course of a long voyage, this range reflects the passion of the producers met on my travels. Selected with great care and blended according to the most stringent winemaking traditions, they are then entrusted to the family-owned wine cellars created in 1987 for vinification and maturation. These wines have been created to accompany your gourmet experiences, a delightful tasting experience, authentic wines offering true conviviality and instant enjoyment. Discover the gourmet savour of a Côtes du Rhône, the full-body of a Chateauneuf du Pape, the elegance of a Crozes Hermitage, or the complexity of a Côte Rôtie. -Olivier Ravoire

    With bold fruit flavors and accents of sweet spice, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre form the base of the classic Rhône Red Blend, while Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise often come in to play. Though they originated from France’s southern Rhône Valley, with some creative interpretation, Rhône blends have also become popular in other countries. Somm Secret—Putting their own local spin on the Rhône Red Blend, those from Priorat often include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah make an appearance.

    Crozes-Hermitage is Northern Rhone’s largest appellation, surrounding the steep granite faces of Hermitage to its north and south. Here the rolling vineyards are less extreme and its soils, rich in clay-limestone and alluvial matter, produce Syrahs that range from fruity and charming to lush and seductive. The Syrahs of Crozes-Hermitage have more mass than those from St. Joseph but are less intense than those from Hermitage. While many are intended for early consumption, some of the best Syrahs from Crozes-Hermitage will age beautifully for 5-10 years.

    Up to 15% of white grapes may theoretically be added to red Crozes at the time of fermentation but whether this is done or not depends on the decision of the winemaker. The best Crozes-Hermitage Syrahs will be fleshy with black fruit (currant, blackberry and black cherry) and bay leaf qualities, notes of tar and stone, and a well-concentrated finish of smooth tannins.

    About a tenth of the wine produced in Crozes-Hermitage is white, primarily composed of Marsanne supplemented by smaller amounts of Roussanne.
