2022 Domaine Belle Cuvee Louis Belle Crozes-Hermitage

93 points, Jeb Dunnuck
I loved the elegance and purity of the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Cuvée Louis Belle, a medium-to-full-bodied, ripe, yet seamless, beautifully balanced Crozes with ultra-fine tannins. It gives up both red and blue fruits as well as some peppery spice and floral notes. If well stored, it's going to continue to drink well for 10-15 years. Drink 2025-2037.

Powerful and aromatic, this wine opens with an intriguing veil of bacon fat, smoke, tobacco, tarragon, and cypress, all atop ripe black plums baking on terracotta. The palate is complex and focused, with a vein of granitic minerality and smoke. Tannins cling to the sides of the mouth, and accentuate black tea and a soft cocoa nib finish. Cellar through 2030+ to fully unveil its beauty.
