Production notes

The Syrah grapes are carefully harvested by hand and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Once the fermentation is complete, this wine goes into oak barrels for 12 months, 20% of which are new.

Tasting notes

Bright ruby ​​color. The nose releases a complex and expressive bouquet of black fruits such as blackberry, blackcurrant and blueberry with smoky notes. On the palate, power is required with density and a noble tannic structure, completed by a hint of black pepper and its graphite side. Pairings with Lamb with herbs, vegetable ratatouille and tajines.

Josh Raynolds, April 2018 (Vintage 2015)

Inky ruby. Suave, mineral-accented scents of ripe blueberry, black currant and Indian spices, along with a slowly emerging floral component. Plush, broad and deeply concentrated, displaying black and blue fruit, licorice and mocha flavors that are energized by an intense, peppery overtone. Finishes extremely long, fleshy and sweet, delivering intense mineral thrust, a subtle cracked pepper nuance and youthful, building tannins

Joe Czerwinski, December 2017 (Vintage 2015)

The 2015 Crozes Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert is a super effort, packed with savory notes of black olives and crushed stones. It's full-bodied and rich, with a hint of cedary oak, but there's plenty of fruit and ripe tannins on the lingering finish. Like some of those fine Thalabert vintages of the past, it should drink well for a couple of decades.
