Magnum red Croze Hermitage Domaine Guigal 2021

Magnum red Crozes-Hermitage Domaine Guigal 2021

The Magnum Crozes-Hermitage 2021 from Domaine Guigal embodies the elegance and typicality of Syrah in its finest northern expression. Thanks to the meticulous work of Marcel and Philippe Guigal, this cuvée from La Collection seduces with its freshness, bright fruit, and spicy character, while maintaining a structure suitable for long aging.

A characterful Rhône terroir

The vines, with an average age of 35 years, are mainly located on the slopes of Gervans, Mercurol, Larnage, and Crozes-Hermitage. The clay-limestone and sandy-gravelly soils give the wine a beautiful aromatic complexity and remarkable freshness, typical of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation.

Grape varieties & winemaking

Made from 100% Syrah, this wine benefits from traditional harvesting, precise temperature control, and a maceration of about three weeks, allowing for optimal extraction. It is then aged for 24 months in oak barrels, giving it structure and elegance.

Tasting notes: a deep, tannic, and balanced wine

• Color: very dark, deep garnet.
• Nose: ripe red fruits (cherry, strawberry), delicate woody nuances, hints of blackcurrant buds.
• Palate: crisp attack, present but well-integrated tannins, persistent finish of vanilla, mild pepper, and black fruit.

Food and wine pairing

This magnum pairs perfectly with grilled rib steak, pork cheek stew, duck breast, or truffle-infused gratin dauphinois. It is ideal for generous meals among enthusiasts of great Rhône red wines.

A generous-sized cellar-worthy wine

Thanks to its extended oak aging and the northern Syrah, this Crozes-Hermitage can be enjoyed now for its indulgence or aged up to 10 years in magnum bottles, under optimal conditions.
