winemaker's notes:

Intense purplish red. Red berries, blackcurrant and raspberry on the nose. The palate is fresh and round, with a finish of fruits. This wine has a lot of finesse.

alcohol by volume: 13.0%
critical acclaim:

"A taut, driven style, with iron and bramble edges to the core of linzer torte, blackberry and fig fruit. A stony edge drives through the finish. Very solid. Drink now through 2013. 1,500 cases imported."

Wine Spectator

"The 2009 negociant offerings include the 2009 Crozes-Hermitage La Petite Ruche, which is probably the strongest wine he has yet made under this moniker. Abundant tapenade, licorice, pepper and meaty aromas jump from the glass of this dense purple-colored, full-bodied, concentrated, rich effort. Accessible enough to drink now, it promises to evolve easily for a decade or more. "

The Wine Advocate

"Bright purple. Textbook syrah on the nose and palate, offering intense dark berry and floral qualities complicated by smoke and spice notes. Packs a serious punch but carries no excess weight, finishing bright and long."

International Wine Cellar

"Sturdy and youthful, this is refreshing in its unadorned simplicity. It just tastes like syrah, plummy and peppery with a hint of lilies, grown in the stony warmth of Crozes-Hermitage. "
