David Reynaud Crozes Hermitage 'Les Croix'

David Reynaud

To us these wines are nothing short of astonishing. The intensity and length of David’s Crozes Hermitage is astonishing, and his wines show the Syrah variety at its purest and most drinkable. David Reynaud’s family used to sell their grapes to the co-operative at Tain, but a wish to bottle his own production led David to establish his domaine in 2002. The original parcel of vines handed down to David by his family, from which his Crozes Hermitage ‘Georges Reynaud’ and ‘Les Croix’ are sourced, is certified organic and biodynamic. The 18 hectares of vines lie on chalky-clay terraces, with a significant quantity of pebble that allows good drainage. David works the vineyard by hand - debudding and carrying out a green harvest to ensure even ripeness and to aerate the vines.
