Description
Crozes-Hermitage is the largest appellation in the northern Rhône and wraps around the hill of Hermitage. Saint Cosme, better known for its Gigondas, makes this 2024 from Syrah. The grape tends to give black pepper, dark berries and a savory streak, usually at a friendlier price than the neighboring Hermitage.
Grilled sausages, lamb chops and a plate of roasted vegetables are natural partners. It does not need long decanting, and a pour at around 16°C keeps the pepper and fruit in balance. Most bottles like this are best within several years of the harvest.
