The Aux Craz fruit is from a south-facing vineyard that lies under the Col de Durbize at the top of the village. At 460 metres, the poor, thin soils mean the roots of Passot’s single hectare of 40-year-old vines need to penetrate the rock below. Here, the elevation and cooler microclimate tempers ripening, bringing cut and crispness to the wine’s fruit. Winemaking is as above, with 11 months maturation in cuve beton before bottling.

Reviews

“A fine effort, Passot's 2021 Chiroubles Aux Craz wafts from the glass with aromas of red berries, plums, rose petals and peonies. Medium-bodied, lively and saline, with fine concentration for the vintage and a beautifully refined, ethereal profile, readers who privilege perfume and succulence over richness and extract will want to seek it out.”
92 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
