Crozes-Hermitage brings you into the Northern Rhône Valley, where the red wines have a profile unlike anywhere else in the world, an irresistible combination of warm flavors of red and black fruit, exotic spice notes, and certainly in the case of Crozes, with pleasure and approachability in youth. It’s important to note that most of Crozes-Hermitage is produced from the plains to the south and east of Hermitage, and these wines tend to be straightforward. Guigal’s approach is to make a more serious Crozes that also has vigor, intensity and depth. In Guigal’s hands, Crozes becomes a wine that delivers quality and pleasure far beyond its price.
"Earthy and savory, offering delicate red fruit merged with bolts of iron, warm soil and white pepper. There's a gentleness to this red, with forest floor accents adding charm, along with a savory, tangy beam of acidity. Retains a juicy edge through the finish. Drink now through 2026. 2,100 cases imported." The Wine Spectator, 91 Points
