Les Varonniers

2009 Crozes-Ermitage Red Blend

M. Chapoutier Les Varonniers from the 2009 vintage is an exceptional red blend hailing from the esteemed Crozes-Ermitage region. This wine showcases a beautifully deep red hue that immediately draws the eye. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience with a mouthwatering acidity that adds a refreshing lift to its bold character. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark fruit flavors, particularly blackcurrant and plum, which harmoniously intertwine with subtle hints of spice. The tannins are notably structured, providing a solid backbone that enhances the wine's complexity and aging potential. This red blend strikes a perfect balance, making it a delightful companion for rich dishes or simply enjoyed on its own.
