Description
Crozes-Hermitage Les Habrards by Jean-Baptiste Souillard is a French red wine produced in the Northern Rhône region, made from Syrah grapes grown using sustainable practices. The vines, planted between the 1960s and the early 2000s, are located on a steep, west-facing terraced slope at about 200 meters altitude, with shallow, rocky soils composed of decomposed blue-grey granite.
Vinification involves spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and a 2-3 week maceration with pump-overs, using a percentage of whole clusters varying between 40% and 100%. The wine is aged for 13-18 months in used oak barrels, without fining or filtration, with minimal and targeted use of sulfites.
On the nose, it expresses aromas of dark fruits, spices, aromatic herbs, and light mineral notes. On the palate, it is precise and savory, with refined tannins and dynamic freshness leading to a long and vibrant finish, a true expression of the granitic terroir of Gervans.
It pairs perfectly with red meat dishes, game, or aged cheeses.
