There are two Crozes Hermitage releases in 2014. Plum, smoked meats, leather and dried herbs all dominate the bouquet of the 2014 Crozes Hermitage les Pierrelles, and it's one of the more concentrated, layered wines in the vintage. Medium-bodied, chewy and with good richness, it plays in the more streamlined style of the vintage, but will benefit from a year or two of bottle age and keep through 2024.
