A Crozes-Hermitage that represents the heart of the appellation, signed by Domaine Lemenicier: a Syrah with a beautiful balance between richness, suppleness, and freshness.


This Crozes-Hermitage shows a ruby-red color with purple reflections. The nose opens with aromas of ripe red and black fruits — black cherry, cassis, and blackberry, complemented by light spicy notes and a soft, savory hint of chocolate. On the palate, the wine is fleshy, supple, and harmonious, with well-rounded tannins that provide an approachable and pleasant texture. The body is medium, with a less massive structure than the great Syrah wines of the northern Rhône, making it an easy-drinking yet characterful wine. The acidity is moderate, bringing freshness and balance without sharpness.

Tannins: medium
Sweetness: dry

Food pairing: pairs beautifully with autumn mushroom dishes, stews (such as boeuf bourguignon or lamb stew), and duck.
