Crozes Hermitage Appellation

The Crozes-Hermitage Appellation in Northern Rhône

Crozes-Hermitage is a French appellation (AOC) that produces wines in the northern Rhône region. The appellation extends over more than 11 communes on the left bank of the Rhône. Between river and granite slopes, Crozes Hermitage has 1,650 hectares of vineyards. Crozes Hermitage wine producers make red wines from Syrah and white wines from Marsanne and Roussanne grape varieties. The red wines are often authentic, with an aromatic palette marked by red fruits and a strong presence of tannins. On the other hand, Crozes Hermitage white wines have Roussanne as their grape variety, which brings finesse and makes the wines delicate and fresh, while Marsanne contributes floral aromas and richness. The major estates producing Crozes Hermitage wines are: Guigal, Domaine Chapoutier, Delas Frères, Paul Jaboulet Aîné...

The best vintages of the appellation are the wines from 1978, 1983, 1987, the 1989 and 1991 vintages. The wines from the 1995, 1996, 1998 and 1999 vintages are of very good quality. Finally, the wines from 1945, 1947, 1961, the 1985, 1988 and 2005 vintages are exceptional vintages in Crozes-Hermitage.
