The 2012 Crozes Hermitage offers hints of mint, tobacco, herbs and nice black fruits to go with a medium to light bodied, fresh palate. In need of more fruit and texture, it should be consumed early in its life.
This was a large lineup by producer Pierre Gaillard. The wines all have a classic, fresh and focused feel, and certainly, those looking for big textures and loads of fruit should look elsewhere.
