In constant search of precision, Yves pays particular attention to the quality of its vines and refuses the "ready-to-think". His vision of viticulture is very personal: neither conventional, nor organic, nor biodynamic. His philosophy is simple: "Produce the best grapes possible".

Terroirs: deep soils, stony alluvium of the Quaternary planted to 100% Syrah

The Crozes Hermitage Laya comes from two hectares of vines from the “Malfondière” plot situated just south of Tain l’Hermitage. Laya is an old name district of Tain l’Hermitage. This is obviously all Syrah from deep, stony, sandy, loamy soils. The grapes are handpicked; and then sorted, crushed and partially destemmed in the cellar. . Alcoholic fermentation in vats with native yeasts and malolactic fermentation in barrels. The wine is then left to age for 16 months before bottling.

This is a juicy, full-bodied version of Crozes with high-toned red and black fruit notes. This is substantial wine with plenty of ripeness and acidity.
