A gracious Crozes‑Hermitage from J.L. Chave Sélection the 2018 Silène unfurls elegant black‑and‑blue fruit framed by mineral tension and a whisper of olive and licorice, all threaded through with floral lift and refined structure. The plush dark‑berry core resolves into poised tannins and a lingering, flower‑tinged finish that speaks of granite hillside origins.
