On the terraces of Les Chassis, the ancient bed of the Rhône has deposited rolled pebbles that mark the identity of this emblematic land of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Here, my Syrahs have been comfortably installed, often for over 50 years. To publish Le Rouvre, I select plots whose grapes rigorously produce deep and precisely velvety tannins for an identity bottle that can be kept well.
