Grape

Syrah or Shiraz

Origin
Mercurol is a village in the Drôme Valley to the north of Rhone, and close to Tain l'Hermitage, known for producing quality Crozes-Hermitage. This domaine's winemaker Yves Cheron, who has vineyard holdings on some of the most prestigious sites of Burgundy and the Rhône.
Taste
Deep red in colour, with a freshness on the nose that lifts the expressive Syrah fruit: black and red cherries, bramble and redcurrants. A taught, savoury palate, with an interesting minerality.
Enjoy
A great match for guinea fowl and similar game, or try with Ardeche goat's cheeses.

    A mixed bag

    This promises a little more than it delivers. There's rich, brambley fruit to begin with, coupled with darker, spicier flavours, but then it gets very rough around the edges, with harsh tannins and a thin finish - none of that big, warm Syrah kiss that you expect from a Crozes. A little disappointing for the price.

Press Reviews

  • It’s quintessential Crozes (2009 Vintage)

    "This wine arrived in Majestic last autumn but an embarrassment of good syrah (and indeed good Majestic wines) has meant that I haven’t mentioned it until now. It’s quintessential Crozes, from a good, ripe vintage, with an almost menthol, tingling smell that hits you high in the nose. Dark and finessed and haunting. Try it with a lamb and prune tagine. (Victoria Moore, TELEGRAPH, 5th February 2012)"
