Tasting notes
Dark ruby in the glass, revealing intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and violet with hints of black pepper and smoked meat. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant red and dark fruit flavors, complemented by earthy notes of leather and graphite. Fine-grained tannins provide structure while maintaining elegance, characteristic of Northern Rhône Syrah. The finish is fresh and persistent, with a touch of white pepper spice and subtle herbal undertones.

Key characteristics
About this wine
Famille Pierre Gaillard is a respected producer in the Northern Rhône, crafting elegant wines that express the character of their terroir with precision and restraint. This Crozes-Hermitage red is built on Syrah, the region's signature grape, and showcases the lighter intensity and finesse that define the appellation's best examples.
Crozes-Hermitage sits in the shadow of the steeper Hermitage slopes, offering slightly warmer exposures and more accessible wines without sacrificing complexity. The cooler Northern Rhône climate imparts red and black fruit alongside peppery, herbaceous notes that add layered sophistication to this dry red wine.
This is a versatile food wine, equally at home alongside roasted poultry, lamb, beef, duck, or venison at the dinner table. Its moderate 12.5% alcohol and balanced structure make it an excellent choice for wine collections seeking quality Rhône reds that age gracefully yet drink beautifully young.
