Once part of the cave co-operative at Tain-Hermitage, the family vineyards of Cave Chevalier are gradually being reclaimed by the brother and sister team of Nicolas and Marlène Chevalier. Following his formal agricultural studies in France, Nicolas spent four years honing his winemaking skills on estates in Australia, California and South Africa. He is a firm believer that the quality of any wine is determined largely by its terroir. His own estate’s excellent sun exposure allows for a dependably high quality in the harvest and its northern location provides the grapes with great aromatic potential. The 3.5 acres of vines are farmed sustainably, hand harvested, vinified and bottled according to parcels of distinctly different terroirs of clay and limestone near Chanos-Curson in the heart of the appellation. He produces both Crozes Rouge (100% Syrah) and Crozes Blanc (100% Marsanne) from four distinct sites: Les Pends, la Motte, les Voleyses and Marius.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY OF THE ESTATE
We are constantly looking for improvements in order to bound the use of phytosanitary products. Here are some examples of our actions:
- recycling of our used packaging
- vineyard planted with grass
This aspect of the environment is important to us, so as to improve the quality of the job done. We do our best to improve while respecting and preserving nature, our work tool.
REGION
Crozes-Hermitage is the largest appellation in the northern Rhone and produces primarily red wines, with Syrah the only red grape permitted under appellation rules, though the addition of up to 15% white grapes such as Marsanne and Roussanne is allowed. Crozes-Hermitage, along with the rest of northern Rhône, has a continental climate that differs greatly from milder, Mediterranean climate of the southern Rhone. The northern winters are wet and marked by the cold winds of the mistral that can last into the Spring.

Once part of the cave co-operative at Tain-Hermitage, the family vineyards of Domaine Chevalier are gradually being reclaimed by the brother and sister team of Nicolas and Marlène Chevalier. Following his formal agricultural studies in France, Nicolas spent four years honing his winemaking skills on estates in Australia, California and South Africa. He is a firm believer that the quality of any wine is determined largely by its terroir. His own estate’s excellent sun exposure allows for dependably ripe, high quality grapes and its northern location provides grapes with great aromatic character. The 3.5 acres of vines are farmed sustainably, hand harvested, vinified and bottled according to parcels of distinctly different terroirs of clay and limestone near Chanos-Curson in the heart of the appellation. He produces both Crozes-Hermitage Rouge (100% Syrah) and Crozes-Hermitage Blanc (100% Marsanne) from four distinct sites: Les Pends, la Motte, les Voleyses and Marius. The whites are fermented and aged in 400-liter Allier barrels; the reds are fermented in cement tanks and aged in 600-liter Allier demi-muids.
The Crozes-Hermitage Rouge “Marius” is made from 100% Syrah grown in stony clay soil that is covered with the traditional galets roulés of the Rhone. The soil in this vineyard site readily retains warmth and water, allowing the vines to develop to their utmost potential. The wine is intensely aromatic with a delicate wood touch and long finish, offering pleasure in the short term as well as great potential for aging in bottle. It is an excellent match for red meat and game dishes in a rich sauce. Crozes-Hermitage Blanc “Les Pends” is a rich, full-bodied white made from 100% Marsanne grown in stony clay-limestone soil. It is excellent with fish in a fine sauce and lighter meat dishes.
Purplish cherry red color. Very intense nose, very fresh, red berries, blackcurrant, raspberry.
Attack firm and frank, fresh, acidulous. Good sweetness, discreet tannins, melted, fine and elegant.
Aromatic wine, fresh, fruity and tender.
Shipping & Delivery Policy
Shipping & Delivery Policy
Our Shipping & Delivery Policy
Yiannis Wine ships orders through FedEx. The shipping fees vary depending on where in the U.S your shipment is going. For any questions or concerns regarding shipment pricing and restrictions please feel free to contact us directly. We are able to ship to all but the following states: Utah, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. With some of these states, for example Alabama, we are able to ship to an ABC store nearest to you.
It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!
Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.
We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.
Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.
Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.
While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.
Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.
Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)
Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."
Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.
Sometimes an order is returned to our warehouse after several delivery attempts at the address provided by the customer. We are happy to reship the order however, reshipment fees will apply. Please contact us and we will assist you with the reshipment arrangements.
We are happy to assist with any returns for items purchased that you no longer want or need. Please let us know and we will arrange for the return and issue a credit or refund for your returned items, less the return shipping and handling charges.
We offer some of the most diverse wines in the business, and we are happy to help you choose wines and provide recommendations by our sommeliers if you desire. Everyone has different tastes and Yiannis Wine will not be held responsible for customer choice. While ratings, testimonials, and reviews may influence your decision, the ultimate judgement is yours.
