2020 E Guigal Crozes Hermitage Rouge, Northern Rhone

Fun and fruit-driven, with just enough peppery complexity to keep it interesting for multiple sips, the 2020 Crozes Hermitage features chunky blueberry fruit, ripe tannins and a mouthwatering finish.

Now from bottle, the 2020 Crozes-Hermitage showed nicely, with the juicy, forward, elegant style of the vintage. Ripe blackberries, game, violets, and hints of pepper all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, has a pretty, silky, elegant mouthfeel, soft tannins, and a great finish. It's a classic, balanced, incredibly satisfying Crozes Hermitage to enjoy over the coming 7-8 years.
