Tasting notes
A beautiful nose of red berries, blackcurrant and raspberry followed by a palate with beautiful freshness and roundness. Pairs beautifully with roasted lamb or barbecue meats. Also is nice with pizza, pasta, casseroles, stews and mature strong cheeses.
Estate
With roots dating back to 1808, M. CHAPOUTIER is one of the oldest companies in the Rhône Valley. Yet, its world renown and the quality of wine can truly be accredited to the arrival of Michel Chapoutier in 1990. His willingness to change the set way, thirst for knowledge and open-mindedness, together with his drive to seek, discover and reflect the full potential of our terroirs, letting the soils express their true character, has put our wines firmly on the wine world map. This philosophy is what gives our wines their signature style, forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos and drives our team to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.

Tar and black black olive notes accent the ripe black cherries on the nose of the 2017 Crozes Hermitage la Petite Ruche. It's medium to full-bodied, with an easygoing, open-knit feel and plenty of blackberry fruit on the finish.

Not yet bottled, the 2017 Crozes Hermitage La Petite Ruche is all Syrah (brought up mostly in concrete) and offers a forward, fleshy, pure style as well as notes of black raspberries, orange blossom, pepper, and violets. It's beautifully aromatic, has loads of Syrah character, good acidity, and tons of charm.

Whiffs of smoked nuts, clove, dried plum and cherry introduce this penetrating, fresh-fruited Syrah. It's medium-bodied and crisply balanced, offsetting juicy, easy-drinking black fruit flavors against brisk acidity and very fine, smooth tannins. Ready to drink now but should hold through 2024.
