Jean-Claude Marsanne, Syrah, Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, France 2019

100% Syrah

Jean-Claude and his two daughters produce not only exquisite Saint-Josephs but also this sublime Crozes-Hermitage from a small but ideally situated plot of 50-year-old vines that Jean-Claude inherited from his grandmother.

Dark, textured, and aromatic, the 2019 boasts beautiful notes of black cherry, stones, and a hint of black olive. This textbook northern Rhône Syrah is perfectly suited to fall roasts and winter stews.
