Description

Crozes-Hermitage Rouge ‘Laya’comes from 2 Syrah vineyards, one located in Mercurol, the other in Beaumont-Monteux. An assemblage of terroirs consisting mainly sandy-limestone soils covered by round pebble stones conferring roundness, suppleness and fruitiness to the wine. The grapes are hand-harvested, partially destemmed, and macerates 3 weeks in open vats. Indigeneous yeasts, the wine age for 16 months in barrels. Small red and wild berry with delicate flowers scents, the palate is juicy with red berry character, lovely freshness and smooth tannins. For the last three decades, Yves has been managing the production of the family estate, overseeing all the minute details of each step to ensure that his wines are 100% “made by hand” in his own unique style.
