Crozes-Hermitage
Rhône ValleyCrozes-Hermitage is a wine produced in the Hermitage wine region, located in the Drôme department of southeastern France. It is made from Syrah grapes, which yield a rich and complex red wine.
Crozes-Hermitage is renowned for its perfect balance between red fruit and blackcurrant aromas, as well as its elegant tannic structure. The oldest wines tend to develop dried fruit and leather aromas, adding further complexity to their aromatic profile.
Crozes-Hermitage production is primarily concentrated on the hillsides surrounding the village of Hermitage, where the soil is rich in rolled stones. These pebbles allow for good drainage and a strong concentration of aromas in the grapes. Vines are typically cultivated on terraces, which permits better sun exposure and optimal ventilation.
Crozes-Hermitage wines can be enjoyed young, but they also have considerable aging potential. They may be paired with dishes such as red meats, aged cheeses, or spiced preparations. They are equally suited to leisurely moments with friends or family.
The vignerons of Crozes-Hermitage take pride in their history and tradition, and work diligently to produce wines of superior quality. Crozes-Hermitage wines are also recognized for their excellent value for money, offering a quality choice for those seeking superior wines at a reasonable price.
