Guigal Crozes-Hermitage Rouge is a deep red wine made from approximately 35-year-old vines growing on clay-rich, sandy soils around the villages of Gervans, Mercurol, Larnage, and Crozes-Hermitage. The wine offers aromas of red fruits such as cherries and strawberries, complemented by oak notes. It is a robust wine with aromas of currants and vanilla, yet remarkably fresh and exhibiting present tannins, which are, however, only subtly integrated thanks to the oak aging. It matures for 24 months in oak barrels.","brand":"E.
