This 20 acre vintage is planted 100% with the Syrah grape. Only 4500
cases are produced. The vines averaging 35 years of age barely produce
the maximum allowable quantity permitted. Only hand picking occurs during the harvest. The grapes are allowed
to macerate under cold conditions for maximum extraction; then they are pressed
pneumatically. The 2005 vintage is extraordinary. It is full bodied, complex and
powerful. The bouquet is fruity and spicy. Tasting reveals an
elegant structure and a perfectly balanced wine.
Michael Poinard vineyards are located on the highest hill in the Crozes Hermitage Region, looking down upon the Rhone River and all the vineyards in the area. Produced from 100% Syrah and aged in small French Oak Casks, today the estate, while still managed by Michael Poinard, is owned by Yves Cheron, prominent land owner in Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanee. It is no coincidence that his Crozes Hermitage has great depth as well as great length.
