Maison Guillot Crozes-Hermitage 2024
Home to the world’s finest (and priciest) Syrahs, the iconic cru of Hermitage spans just one hillside in the northern Rhône. The best top £200 a bottle, but there is a way to enjoy Rhône royalty for far, far less.
Crozes-Hermitage lies at the foot of that famous hill and its red wines, like this one from fourth-generation winemaker Laurent Guillot, deliver all that northern Rhône character, minus the eye-watering price.
The Guillots have been making wine for centuries – originally from Burgundy, they began working with Rhône vines in 1911. Today Laurent makes wine in both of these celebrated regions and brings a touch of Burgundian finesse to rich Rhône reds.
Delicious, succulent ripe blackberry, cassis and plum flavours, with a spicy, white pepper edge and long fruity finish. Decant in advance.
