The 2019 Crozes Hermitage Courbis seems very much like the Les Hirondelles but with a coating of cedary oak applied. Whereas the Les Hirondelles matures exclusively in demi-muids and foudres, the Courbis includes 15% new barriques in the assemblage. That doesn't necessarily make a wine better, just different (and sometimes worse). Black cherries and blueberries are framed in toast and cedar, the full-bodied palate is reined in a bit by the wood, and those cedar notes return on the finish, providing length at the expense of fruit expression.
