E. Guigal Crozes-Hermitage 2022

Crozes Hermitage, Northern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceCrozes-Hermitage is produced in the Northern Rhône Valley, where syrah is the primary red grape. Traditionally, Crozes comes off flatter sites in somewhat richer soils and is made in a more approachable style when compared to Hermitage, but not at Guigal. The 2022 vintage showcases aromas characteristic of the region, featuring red and black fruits with a hint of smoked ham. On the palate, it presents full bodied flavours with mostly red fruits, accompanied by hints of graphite and mineral asperities. Balance and restraint alongside the characteristic power of syrah is all you could ask for. Lamb, anyone?Tasted: 13 May 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
