Description
The Crozes-Hermitage from Domaine Vindiou celebrates the freshness and purity of the fruit, underpinned by a minimalist tannic structure. It is a take on the appellation that breaks the mould, with no excessive extraction or ageing, returning to a noble, elegant and lively acidity. This slender framework makes it impossible to resist its deliciousness and pleasure. We approve!
