Slightly more expensive, the 2020 Crozes-Hermitage L'Ivresse Des Voleyses is similarly purple-hued and has a great nose of ripe red and blue fruits interwoven with plenty of pepper, flowery incense, and spicy nuances. It's pure, medium-bodied, and beautifully balanced, with integrated acidity and outstanding length. It's very much in the style of this classic, balanced vintage and is going to have over a decade of longevity.
