WINE DESCRIPTION
Emmanuel Darnaud Mise en Bouche Crozes-Hermitage is a red wine produced by Domaine Emmanuel Darnaud in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation of the northern Rhône Valley. Made with 100% Syrah grapes, the wine is vinified and aged in oak barrels. The vineyards are situated on steep, rocky hillsides with varying exposures, resulting in grapes that express the terroir of the region. The wine is known for its deep ruby color, aromas of red fruit and spice, and its medium-bodied, elegant style with soft tannins and a long finish. It is a great example of a classic Crozes-Hermitage, and is a popular choice for those seeking a high-quality wine at an accessible price point.

ORIGINS
Winery: Emmanuel Darnaud
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
