Description

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Joe Czerwinski, Janvier 2022) : 87/100. Expensive wood can only get you so far. The 2019 Crozes Hermitage le Zouave offers lovely cedar and vanilla shadings, but they overwhelm the wine's dark fruit flavors of plum and black olive. It's full-bodied, so it doesn't lack for power, but the fruit intensity needs to be ramped up to properly complement such lovely oak. Drink date 2021-2024.

An excellent wine that honors the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, whose characteristics it expresses well. What's more, it boasts a beautiful label that's sure to delight your guests. Some bottles (one per case, if I've checked correctly) even have a fringed tassel attached to the cap, reminiscent of the one adorning the famous "chéchia" of the Zouaves. The 2019 vintage is already very good. No doubt it will improve with a few more years in the cellar. Definitely a wine produced with care and method. (Translated review)
