M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage Petite Ruche 2020 (750ml) Itata Valley January 2018Winemaker Notes Petite Ruche translates to "little beehive," which is a very appropriate name, as the vineyards were formerly dedicated to beekeeping. A beautiful nose of red berries, blackcurrant and raspberry followed by a palate with beautiful freshness and roundness. Pairs beautifully with roasted lamb or barbecue meats. Also is nice with pizza, pasta, casseroles, stews and mature strong cheeses.
