M. Chapoutier Description
92 Points James Suckling
A well-balanced, peppery and chalky wine with aromas of dark berries, meat and fresh black pepper. It’s medium-bodied with chalky tannins. Inky and delicious, with a flavorful, tactile finish. From organically grown grapes.
90 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2023 Crozes-Hermitage Les Meysonniers has slightly riper aromatics of black raspberries, pepper, wildflowers, and spice that carry to a medium-bodied Syrah that's beautifully balanced, with fine tannins and outstanding length. This cuvée comes from 100% Syrah and spent 12 months in 90% concrete tanks and 10% used puncheons.
