Brunel De La Gardine Crozes-Hermitage

Brunel De La Gardine Crozes-Hermitage is very concentrated, the colour is intense - almost black. The nose is marked by aromas of forest floor, black fruits, violets and a dusting of peppery spice, this is a wine that will surprise you with its elegance. The palate is soft and it delivers a beautifully typical expression of its terroir, supplying immediate pleasure if you wish to drink it now but it will easily keep for 5 or more years.

Crozes-Hermitage has the largest vineyard area of any of the northern Rhône appellations and it is located in the Drôme département on the left bank of the river. The terraced vineyards lie just to the north of Hermitage, on similar granite soil. The name originally included only the vineyards of the town of Crozes-Hermitage, but it spread to encompass neighbouring towns afterwards.
