Les Pichères is a gorgeous rich red from the northern Rhône's prized Crozes-Hermitage. Since 2004 the domaine’s been run by one of the region’s top names, Chapoutier. This red displays their hallmark excellence, along with the superb quality of 2021.
Founded in 1946, Domaine Ferraton has always been a highly regarded estate. Yet since the Chapoutiers have come on board, quality has risen even higher. Chapoutier is renowned for highest biodynamic standards, and the sumptuous richness and depth of this beautiful wine shows off its class. Open to reveal dense, smoky black fruit with wafts of herbal garrigue and liquorice, the essence of Northern Rhône Syrah. The palate is velvety, with an underlying grip of tannins and pure black fruit, the finish deliciously long. Open early and serve with your finest French-style lamb roast. Superbe!
