Tasting Notes
Appearance:
In the glass, Les Meysonniers Rouge shimmers with a deep, garnet hue, edged with hints of violet. The wine exudes clarity and a captivating intensity, promising concentration even before the first swirl.
Nose:
The aromatic profile is enchanting and complex. Plush notes of ripe blackberries and juicy black cherries seamlessly interlace with both floral highlights-think violets and subtle hints of rose petal-and classic Rhone Syrah nuances of cracked black pepper, fragrant liquorice, and a touch of earthiness. Behind this core, a whisper of smoky minerality and wild herbs lingers, offering depth and intrigue with every inhale.
Palate:
On the palate, Les Meysonniers Rouge is both silky and vibrant, offering a harmonious balance of ripe, dark fruit-plums, blackcurrants and blueberries-lifted by lively acidity. The fruit sits atop refined, supple tannins that provide both structure and elegance. Peppery spice, olive tapenade, and a hint of cocoa grace the mid-palate, echoing the wine's complexity and Rhone character, while the organic origins shine through in its remarkable freshness and purity.
Finish:
The finish is persistent and layered, leaving savoury notes of black olive, tapenade, and a flicker of pepper - all backed by a lingering freshness and a gentle, mouthwatering minerality. Utterly moreish, Crozes-Hermitage Les Meysonniers Rouge Organic by M. Chapoutier is a Syrah that invites you back, sip after sip, to savour the soul of the Northern Rhone.
