FAMILLE RAVOIRE - Olivier Ravoire - AOP Crozes-Hermitage Blanc 2025
Presentation
Espee, the name of our Crozes-Hermitage vintage, is a term borrowed from an old French
word meaning sword and refers to the knight’s weapon of choice.
The vintage is the result of a meticulous blend of grapes from the best plots in the
appellation. This wine was created to offer a rich tasting experience to share and discover.
