Crozes-Hermitage Rouge | Local Wine Appellation From Drôme, France | TasteAtlas

Crozes-Hermitage Rouge

Located on the eastern bank of Rhône, Crozes-Hermitage is a French appellation that mainly produces Syrah-based red wines, though the official guidelines also allow the production of whites from Marsanne and Roussanne grapes. Red Crozes-Hermitage wines are light, elegant, fruity, and floral, usually displaying bright red and black fruit aromas, which can develop into spicy notes over the years.


These easy-drinking and approachable wines are usually enjoyed young, and they perfectly pair with roasted poultry, pork, lamb, or stews, while vintages may be an excellent match to game or red meat.
