Jean-Claude & Nicolas Fayolle
The extended Fayolle family has a long history in Gervans, and this particular branch’s domaine, now run by the father-and-son team of Jean-Claude and Nicolas Fayolle, produces wines in a highly traditional manner, with low intervention in the cellar and without de-stemming. The Fayolles own a single hectare of vines on the Hermitage hill, at Dionnières, which is planted 80% to Syrah and the rest to Marsanne, with a bit of Roussanne mixed in. The red is fairly priced and consistently excellent, if a bit difficult to find, and the white is also solid but even more rare. But for the money, it’s the Crozes-Hermitage La Rochette that really grabs my attention. Made from a four-hectare, single site in the prized, granite-based soils of Serves, just a couple of miles north of Gervans, it can deliver Hermitage-like intensity and complexity for a fraction of the price. The 2017 is a standout.
