Displaying more tannin and substance, the 2006 Crozes-Hermitage Cuvee Louis Belle possesses aromas of roasted meats, lavender, garrigue, and black currants. It is a classic, elegant, but substantial Crozes to enjoy over the next decade. Intelligently made, fresh, lively, concentrated wines emerge from the Domaine Belle, a modestly-sized Crozes-Hermitage estate that remains under the radar of most consumers. A Crozes-Hermitage cuvee from the granite soils of Larnage has recently been added to the portfolio.Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
