Two Crozes

Jun 10, 2010 1 Replies

Last week I bought a bottle of 2007 Chapoutier Crozes HermitageLes Meysonniers (price about 14 euro) We enjoyed with firends on a cruise. The wine was good, better than the free wine on board but without a lot of depth, short finish and I thought just a tad sour-too much acidity?



Last night decided to try another version of Crozes from Domaine Combier this time a 2005. Much fuller in the mouth and with a better, not much, but slightly longer finish. Fruity and a very nice accompaniment for ground round.



If choosing I would go for the Dom. Combier, but the price on the Chapoutier wasn't bad (picked up in a little store in St Malo probably not the best price in town, but I was craving a little Rhone. Joseph Coulter Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations LLC

Thanks for the notes, Joseph. I'm not familiar with Dom. Combier, but my list of Crozes producers is a very short one (Graillot, Belle). Chapoutier's supposedly been making better wine of late, but I haven't tried any to verify for myself.
