Domaine Les Alexandrins Crozes - Hermitage Les Chaflans 2020
£31.95
Why Mark chose this
Crozes-Hermitage is the appellation that surrounds the famous Hermitage hill, and at its best it gives you northern Rhône Syrah at a more reasonable price. Les Alexandrins farm old vines on sandy clay soils, and Les Chaflans is their classic bottling: proper Syrah character, good structure, and a wine that works as well on a weeknight as at a dinner party.

Tasting Notes
Domaine les Alexandrins - The Expression of the Rhône Valley Terroir. Made from old vines, our Crozes-Hermitage is a great classic, elegant and refined, vinified using methods that faithfully uphold local traditions. The Syrah shows its full expression on these 4ha of sandy clay and rolled pebbles. The colour is very intense black, with beautiful purple reflections. Deep and complex on the nose, it reveals aromas of blackcurrant, violet and spices as well as smoky notes. On the palate, it reveals all its richness and subtle dense tannins and aromas of black fruit such as cherry and blackcurrant, accompanied by fine aging in barrels. This wine has a good aging potential, it will be ideal to drink over the next six years, accompanied by grilled red meat, a spicy dish or a stew with character.
