FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you necessarily have to wait a long time to enjoy La Guiraude?

The description highlights that this cuvée reveals Syrah’s potential from a young age, so its appeal does not depend solely on ageing. However, this does not allow us to specify a peak drinking date or how long the 2018 can be kept.

What criteria should you use to choose this 2018 over another Crozes-Hermitage?

La Guiraude stands out because it is produced only in great vintages and its vines were planted predominantly in 1986. These are useful points of reference when choosing a particular cuvée, but they are not proof that it is more powerful or complex than another.

Could this bottle be a starting point for a vertical tasting of La Guiraude?

Yes, as a way to explore a cuvée that is made only in great vintages. Such a tasting lets you compare several years selected by the estate, without making assumptions in advance about differences in taste or how evolved they are.

Do vines planted in 1986 mean the wine already tastes evolved?

No: the age of the vines and the evolution of the wine in the bottle are two different things. This date tells us about the origins of La Guiraude, but does not allow us to infer the current aromas of the 2018 vintage.

What would be the point of comparing La Guiraude with a red blend?

Made exclusively from Syrah, La Guiraude offers a point of comparison with a wine made from several grape varieties. To appreciate the differences without too quickly attributing them solely to the grape variety, you should also take each wine’s vintage and origin into account.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
