Etienne Becheras (Le Prieure d'Arras) Crozes-Hermitage Rouge 2023

$2799

Etienne Bécheras farms his 12-hectare domaine organically in Arras, a village overlooking the Rhône. The 2023 Crozes-Hermitage delivers classic Northern Rhône savory character: three-day cold maceration, full destemming, three to four weeks of spontaneous fermentation, then maturation in used oak with no fining or filtration. The result is a voluminous, spice-driven Syrah with dark fruit core, lavender and purple flower aromatics, meaty undertones, and firm tannin structure. Compelling value from an organic producer.

More about Etienne Becheras

This producer actually straddles the two districts, as they have vines in the village of Vion, one of St. Joseph’s original six villages but not one that you hear about much. But most of their vines are just north of there in the village of Arras, so it’s in this section of the list. They have some interesting terroir on steep, rocky terraced sites, some of which bear limestone soils (which are not at all common in St. Joseph). This is a top-quality producer making classical St. Joseph.
