Among the best crozes I know. Less well known than Combier, for me it's a cut above.

Black fruit and spice on the nose. Sweetness, more black fruit and a lovely depth on the palate. Very well made, it can be drunk now or kept for a few years.

A very well-made Crozes, very typical of the appellation. It's ready to drink, but you can also keep it for a while.

A peppery, spicy and opulent Crozes Hermitage produced by the son of the great winemaker Alain Graillot.

A rather "fruity" Côte du Rhône with subtle power, so it goes perfectly with white meats, for example.

A lovely Crozes-Hermitage discovery, ideal for opening with friends, typical of the appellation.
Appellation
Crozes-Hermitage
The appellation Crozes-Hermitage is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Domaine des Lises and its 0 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
