Laurent Habrard 2018 – Crozes-Hermitage

The nose is fruity and offers a very fine concentration and a fine minerality. This wine needs to be put in carafe. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, black cherry and small notes of violet associated with a touch of lilac, raspberry candy as well as discreet hints of spices and nutmeg. The palate is fruity, fresh, well-balanced, mineral and offers a good definition, gourmandize as well as an acidulous/juicy frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fleshy bigarreau cherry, fleshy/juicy blackberry, small notes of small black berries associated with hints of lilac, zan, black olive as well as very fine hints of sweet spices and coffee. Good length. Tannins are elegant, precise, fine and offer suppleness. An imperceptible hint of ripe almond on the persistence.
