"A slice of pear, yellow apple, honeysuckle and lemon flesh aromas introduce the 2023 Crozes-Hermitage Blanc Hauterives. Medium-bodied, round and elegant, the 2023 hits the palate with ample flavor concentration and checks out with persistence on the sapid close."

"Bright citrus, orange blossom, honeyed flowers, and even a hint of mint all emerge from the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Les Pontaix Blanc, a medium-bodied, juicy, focused, elegant white from Crozes that has terrific overall balance and a great finish. It's going to be versatile on the dinner table."

"The delicious 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Hauterives is laced with fragrant black cherry, licorice, cured meat, iodine and leafy elements. Low levels of polished tannins gently structure this refreshing 2022 red that's medium-bodied and savory."
