🍇 Elegant, Juicy, and Classically Rhône
From one of the Rhône’s most respected producers, this Crozes-Hermitage is a pure and charming expression of Syrah—vibrant, fruit-driven, and laced with freshness and finesse.

🍷 In the Glass
Brilliant deep purple with youthful violet reflections—intense and captivating.

👃 On the Nose
Fragrant notes of blackcurrant, raspberry, and wild strawberry leap from the glass, wrapped in subtle hints of crushed violets and spice.

🍽 On the Palate
Silky and fresh with a juicy core of red and black fruits, gentle acidity, and soft tannins. The finish is smooth and fruit-forward, with just enough grip to keep you coming back for more.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Pair it with grilled duck breast, roast pork, herbed sausages, or earthy lentil dishes. It also works beautifully with mushroom-based recipes or a simple charcuterie board.

Delicious in its youth, but can evolve nicely over 4–6 years for added complexity.

💫 Why You’ll Love It
This is northern Rhône Syrah at its most approachable—fresh, expressive, and impeccably balanced. A perfect introduction to the region, and a go-to red for lovers of finesse over force.
