Domaine Aleofane Crozes-Hermitage Rouge

Domaine Aleofane Crozes-Hermitage Rouge

A beautifully expressive Northern Rhône Syrah from Natacha Chave, combining dark fruit and savoury depth with the lifted freshness Crozes-Hermitage can do so well. Plummy black fruit and blueberry meet violet, pepper, black olive and a whisper of smoke, with fine tannins keeping everything poised.

Product Details

Plummy black fruit, cherry and blueberry sit at the heart of this characterful Crozes-Hermitage, joined by lifted violet, peppery spice, black olive and a subtle smoky note. Medium-bodied rather than heavy, with fine tannins and enough freshness to balance the wine's concentration. A wonderfully savoury expression of Northern Rhône Syrah.

How It's Made

Natacha Chave farms her Crozes-Hermitage vineyards organically and biodynamically, with the grapes harvested by hand. The Syrah comes from vines around 50 years old, grown on clay soils with galets. The grapes are partially destemmed before fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by 12 months' maturation in 600-litre demi-muids. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.

About Domaine Aleofane

Domaine Aleofane
Mercurol-Veaunes, Northern Rhône, France France Founded 2004 Winemaker Natacha Chave

Domaine Aleofane was founded in 2004 by Natacha Chave in the Northern Rhône. Coming from a winemaking family — her brother Yann Chave runs his own domaine nearby — Natacha chose to establish an estate of her own, beginning with vines in Saint-Joseph before expanding into Crozes-Hermitage and Cornas.

The vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically, with Natacha favouring a low-intervention approach in the cellar. Fermentations use indigenous yeasts, without added enzymes, and the wines are made without fining or filtration. The result is a small-production range focused on expressive, characterful interpretations of the Northern Rhône.
