Olivier Dumaine

The Dumaine family has resided in the village of Larnage since 1650. Today, Olivier and Maryline Dumaine work their parcels in the villages of Larnages and Saint-Jean-du-Muzols.  Their Crozes-Hermitage and Saint Joseph are planted with ancient vines grown on granite hills, producing naturally low yields of concentrated, yet balanced wines.

2019 Crozes-Hermitage ‘La Croix du Verre’ Red

Description

“Exuberantly fruity and redolent of smoke, spice and chocolate, this is a lavish but elegantly composed Syrah sourced from vines averaging over 50 years old. Matured 10 months in oak barrels (no new oak), it’s an open-knit, luscious wine layered with soft, chalky tannins that linger on the finish. At peak now–2025.” Anna Lee C. Iijima

2020 Crozes-Hermitage ‘La Croix du Verre’ blanc

Description

“Brilliant Straw-yellow color.  Expressive aromas of fresh orchard fruit and white flowers enlivened by a zesty nuance of orange.  A medium-bodied palate of melon, tangerine and pear with just a touch of honeysuckle.”

2017 Crozes-Hermitage ‘La Croix du Verre’ blanc

“A barrel-fermented 80-20 blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, the 2017 Crozes-Hermitage Blanc “La Croix du Verre” comes from the area around the commune of Larnage, known for its light-colored clays. Smoky, honeyed, with aromas reminiscent of grilled pear, this medium-bodied to full-bodied white is a beauty. Its roundness is accompanied by a silky texture and lingering grilled-fruit notes on the finish”

2017 Saint Joseph

Description

“Excellent layered bouquet of cherries and garrigue. Juicy yet structured with layers of black fruit, and a subtle streak of paprika. Savory and subtle with ripe and fine tannins, great length with a long finish.”
