Cassis, fresh fig, violets, and ground pepper, as well as beautiful violet notes, all emerge from the 2022 Crozes-Ermitage Les Varonniers, a Hermitage look-alike that has medium to full-bodied richness, remarkable purity, and fine-grained, polished tannins that build on the palate. Coming from a west facing, granitic hillside just beside Hermitage Hill, this beauty will warrant 4-6 years of bottle age and my money is on it being one of the top – and longest lived – Crozes in the vintage.
