VISIT THE ESTATE

terroir of Domaine des Grands Chemins

On the left bank of the Rhône, along the 45th parallel, sits Crozes-Hermitage, the largest vineyard of the northern appellations. On sun-drenched alluvial terraces swept by the wind, the vines thrive in an environment that is both rugged and generous. To the north, the granitic slopes take over from the mythical inclines of Hermitage, imparting a defined structure and vibrant tension to the wines. To the south, the last ice ages created vast terraces where smooth pebbles mix with fertile clay, sometimes topped by a fine layer of loess or white sand.

This wine offers an authentic, refined expression of Northern Rhône Syrah, while remaining true to the inviting style that is the hallmark of great Crozes-Hermitage wines.
