2020 Crozes Hermitage “Gervans”

Barruol / Lynch

Discount Eligible $42.00
AT CART MAX

Gervans is one of the great sites in the vast appellation of Crozes-Hermitage with steep hillside vineyards that benefit from cooling breezes. From here, Barruol vinifies a classic northern Rhône Syrah–supple and luscious with satisfying heft. Full of finesse, it opens into black cherry fruits and plentiful violet, soft leather notes playing around the edges. Sure, you could pair it with a fat-capped ribeye, but why not try a more playful approach with this bottle that’s simultaneously serious-drinking and ready-to-go? A board of saucisson and cheeses such as d’Affinois or Brebirousse will do quite nicely.

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.
