Rives & Terrasses Rives & Terrasses Crozes-Hermitage, France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Crozes-Hermitage

After having a very pleasant Gigondas from this same Leclerc brand, I thought I would try this, which is made by Cave de Tain, and sadly it was a much less successful option. Pretty thin red fruit. Lacking a little for body on the palate. This is the third 2021 Crozes in a row that I have not greatly enjoyed. I did not have in mind that this should be a poor vintage, so maybe I am just unlucky!
