Maison Guillot Crozes-Hermitage 2024

Succulent, ripe dark fruit with a spicy, white pepper edge in this elegant Rhône red
Enjoy the rich, fruity character of a northern Rhône Syrah, made a stone’s throw from the iconic cru of Hermitage at a fraction of the price. Maison Guillot Crozes-Hermitage is a succulent, fruity red wine with blackberry, cassis and plum flavours.

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.

\n\n

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.

\n\n

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.
