2015 Crozes Hermitage “Tiercerolles”

Barruol / Lynch
Discount Eligible $35.00
SOLD OUT
Back in the seventies, Gérard Chave showed me some Crozes vineyards in the hills behind Hermitage that he thought surpassed others in the appellation. This wine is from those Hermitage-like sites. It has a grand cru aroma, a sumptuous, structured palate, and a long, deep, flavorful aftertaste. The 2015 Tiercerolles is above and beyond anything I have previously tasted from Crozes Hermitage—and let’s face it, folks, this is KLWM’s 45th anniversary, so I have tasted tons of Crozes over the past 45 years. Here’s the best.

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
