Domaine de la Ville Rouge - Crozes Hermitage Terre d'Eclat 2018
1*Étoile
Hachette
"Twelve months of barrel aging has endowed this red with toasty, spicy notes, adding a touch of class to the bouquet of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blueberry). Full-bodied, rich, and robust, the palate loses none of its elegance and lingers with a fresh, flavorful hint of Zan. " (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About wine:
A 12-month aging process in barrels has given this red wine toasted and spicy notes, adding a touch of class to the bouquet of ripe black fruits (blackcurrant, blueberry). Full-bodied, rich, and robust, the palate loses none of its elegance and lingers with a fresh and flavorful hint of Zan.
About the estate:
A 20-hectare family estate in Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph, which has been producing its own wines since 2006, under the leadership of Sébastien Girard, son of the founders, who moved there three years earlier. Organic since 2012 and biodynamic since 2015.
