Tasting Notes

Wafting from the glass with a lively, elegant bouquet of dark berries, spices, licorice and herbs, the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert possesses a moderately weighted, satiny and ample palate with a delicately juicy core of fruit, despite a slightly introverted character and an austere finish. Fermented 30% in wooden tronconic tanks, the rest in foudres, and matured in barrels, 15% new, this is a real classic. Caroline Frey graciously hosted me for a tasting of the 2022 vintage. She described the year as “hot, dry and extreme,” noting that the number of days with maximum temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius reached record levels. Despite those conditions, the wines are fresh with lively bouquets and no trace of drought or overripe profiles. Caroline considers it “an exciting vintage, particularly regarding how positively the vines adapted to the climate.”

This proves that Crozes-Hermitage can be a truly great wine. A wealth of black fruit, smoke, black pepper and raw meat aromas. At once bold, structured and elegantly balanced on the medium- to full-bodied palate, where the interplay of fleshiness and fine tannins is stunning. Very long, stony finish with notes of licorice and blackberries. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (SP)
