Crozes-Hermitage

The domain

Originally a cooperative estate, it was the arrival of Franck Faugier in 1998 that led to the current management of the estate, leaving the cooperative system. Located in the south of the Crozes Hermitage appellation, on the place called "les Hauts Chassis". Since then, the property has been producing wines of great finesse that are very representative of the appellation. 

The wine 

This 100% Syrah wine is a deep red color and reveals aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and violet. Notes of spices and cocoa. In the mouth tannins will be felt but they remain quite well placed and melted. 2019 is perhaps less spectacular than 2018 but remains undoubtedly more balanced and gives more freshness in the wines.

A success with a rack of lamb.
