Crozes-Hermitage is one of the big names from the north of the Rhone. This is where the red wine of Syrah is made, sometimes with a tiny bit of white grapes added to accentuate the fruity aromas. The location of the vineyards at the foot of the Hermitage Hill and the specific composition of the soil give Crozes-Hermitage its unique mineral aromas and its slender, muscular structure. For Guigal, one of the most esteemed houses in the region, it is important that the wine really reflects its origin. A delicious terroir wine, with lots of flavor of currant, blackberry and spices, a firm structure and a soft aftertaste. One to enjoy in peace. First a few sips like this, then with roast meat and then another glass with the cheese.
