Crozes-Hermitage 2017 Les Pierrelles - Domaine Belle

Beautiful garnet red colour with bright-red hues.

The wine is limpid despite its deep and dense colour.

The nose proudly displays all the attributes of a youthful Syrah - intense aromas of wild blackberry and sweet spices, reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg; white pepper too and something greedy, almost sweet, like cotton candy. It is a sweetness with light and delicate woods, cocoa powder and liquorice.

In the same spirit, the mouth is soft and velvety. Ageing in oak barrels provides the necessary support for this chiselled and gently extracted substance. The silky tannins accompany an aroma faithful to what was perceived on the nose, giving a real sensation of harmony and immediate pleasure.

This bottle should be opened now and within five years with summer dishes such as marinated meats or matured cheeses.
