A surprising wine offering good value for money. Fruity and spicy, it's still a little young, and should be brought out again next year.

A pleasant discovery, this Crozes-Hermitage offers very good value for money. It deserves to be cellared a little longer.

This 2017 Crozes-Hermitage from Maison François-Xavier Nicolas expresses all the intensity and richness of the Syrah grape. Solid stuff!

Appellation
Crozes-Hermitage
The appellation Crozes-Hermitage is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Maison François-Xavier Nicolas and its 16 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..
