WINE DESCRIPTION
Marc Sorrel Le Gréal Hermitage is a premium red wine produced in the Hermitage appellation in the Northern Rhône region of France. Le Gréal is a single-vineyard cuvée made from Syrah, the dominant grape variety of the Hermitage region. The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a meticulous winemaking process, including a long maceration and aging in oak barrels to develop complexity and structure.
The wine is known for its dark and intense color, with a complex and expressive bouquet of black fruits, spice, and floral notes. On the palate, Le Gréal displays great depth and concentration, with flavors of blackberry, black cherry, licorice, and pepper, supported by firm tannins and well-integrated oak. The wine has a long and persistent finish, with excellent aging potential.

ORIGINS
Winery: Marc Sorrel
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
