the Crozes-Hermitage appellation produces red and white wines. The deeply-coloured red wines are supple and aromatic. They display aromas of blackcurrant, vanilla, cinnamon, liquorice and menthol notes. Try with a rack of lamb or roast chicken. The floral, elegant white wines are supple and fat, displaying fragrances of almond, passion fruit and white flowers. Serve them with eel in a parsley and garlic sauce, fish in a sauce or goats cheese.
