E. Guigal Crozes Hermitage 2016

Crozes-Hermitage can be considered the gateway to the red and white wines of the Northern Rhône Valley. The reds, which are the majority of production, have wonderful warm flavors of red and black fruit, and typical Syrah pepper, spice and savory notes.

Tangy acidity encircles this wine’s rich, creamy lemon flavors, highlighting the purity of the fruit. Estate-grown, it’s simultaneously rich and light, a firm, elegant, savory white for roast scallops.
