WINE DESCRIPTION
M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage Les Meysonniers is a premium red wine produced by the renowned winemaker Michel Chapoutier. The wine comes from the Crozes-Hermitage appellation in the northern Rhône region of France, which is known for producing some of the finest Syrah grapes in the world. The vineyards are situated on steep slopes with granite and limestone soils, which impart unique mineral flavors to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of black fruit, spices, and a hint of smokiness. The wine is medium-bodied with a silky texture and a long, smooth finish, making it a perfect match for grilled meats and hearty stews.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage Les Meysonniers is a robust and full-bodied red wine from the Northern Rhône.On the nose, an intense bouquet of ripe red fruit, spice and a hint of leather. On the palate, the wine has an intense and concentrated flavour, with notes of blackberry, raspberry and a touch of tobacco. The tannins are firm, yet well-integrated, and the finish is long and lingering. An excellent expression of Syrah from this renowned producer, this is a wine that will impress.

ORIGINS
Winery: M. Chapoutier
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
