Chapoutier's Crozes-Hermitage Les Meysonniers is a wine of real character from the Rhône Valley's most expansive Syrah appellation, grown on south-facing alluvial terroirs shaped by the ancient terraces of the Rhône and Isère rivers. Made from organically farmed Syrah and vinified traditionally in concrete tanks, it pours a deep, vivid purplish-red in the glass, with a nose that opens on red fruits, blackcurrant and raspberry before giving way to a lovely lifted note of violet. The palate is ample and round, with warm, approachable tannins and a fleshy, generous finish of stewed fruit and vanilla, the result of twelve months of careful ageing — eighty-five per cent in concrete to preserve freshness and minerality, and fifteen per cent in barrel for structure and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNamed after the estate's first owner, Les Meysonniers sits within Chapoutier's Prestige range and reflects their long commitment to organic viticulture, certified under FR-BIO-01 since 2012. Working without herbicides and ploughing the soil encourages the vine roots to drive deep into the sedimentary ground, producing wines with a subtlety and minerality that set them apart within the appellation. Equally at home alongside a slow-roasted leg of lamb, a beef casserole or a platter of hard cheeses, this is also a wine with real cellaring potential of five to seven years for those happy to wait.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatch Mansfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66227834519901,"sku":"TWS-001734","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/vinoshop.co.uk\/products\/m-chapoutier-crozes-hermitage-les-meysonniers-rouge","provider":"The Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
