2022 Crozes Hermitage “Habrard”

Barruol / Lynch
Discount Eligible $40.00
AT CART MAX

This Syrah can be your whole evening. Pop the cork and let it breathe for an hour or so while you sauté mushrooms for a ragoût or prepare a peppercorn sauce for steak au poivre. The intervening minutes allow this Crozes Hermitage to fully uncoil. Delicate floral aromas blossom, and your first glass is spring-loaded with a palate-invigorating freshness and velvety depth. With dinner served and a second glass poured, layers of blueberry compote, dried lavender, bacon fat, and cocoa emerge. The silky dark fruit and subtle spice linger long after you’ve swallowed your final sip. Hopefully you’ve tucked a few bottles away for another night since this Habrard bottling will continue to evolve beautifully over the next few years.

Where the newsletter started

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
