White
Crozes-Hermitage
This
wine, 100% Marsanne, is exclusively made
from over 50-year-old vines.
It
comes from only one « terroir », in Larnage, where the
chalky clay soil is unique.
The
wine is made in stainless steel tanks with little wood. The wine is aged
on its fine lees for 8 months without any stirring.
Too
often overlooked, on some soils, white
Crozes-Hermitage wines can develop strong aromas that can rival some of
their "cousins".
« I
thought it was a good idea to revive
rich traditional whites with a stress on soil rather than grape variety. »
Our
advice:
these wines will
be a good choice for apéritifs. They will also be a good match for
freshwater fish or seafood. They will also go well with starters.
The
best serving temperature is between 12 and 14 °C.
Red
Crozes-Hermitage
From
the same soil as white Crozes-Hermitage, this 100% Syrah
wine is exclusively made from grapes from hillside vineyards.
The
grapes are destemmed. The wine is made in closed tanks with controlled
temperatures. This process lasts at least 16 days.
« In
red Crozes-Hermitage, wood must be well-balanced to keep their
typical aromas of spices and red fruit. »
Our
advice:
these wines go
well with chicken, stews and roasted or grilled red meat. They will be a
good choice for cold meats.
The
best serving temperature is between 16 and 18°C. |
