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.

Where the newsletter started

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
