Domaine de Remizières, Crozes Hermitage Cuvée Christophe 2022

Domaine de Remizières’ Crozes-Hermitage Cuvée Christophe 2022 is a polished Northern Rhône red with a clear ruby colour, a creamy aromatic opening and a long, intense finish. Made by a family domaine with roots stretching across three generations, it combines the generous character of Syrah with refined tannins and 15 months of oak maturation.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a bright, clear ruby-red appearance. On the nose, it is aromatic and inviting, with a smooth, creamy impression that leads into the concentrated, expressive style typical of a well-made Crozes-Hermitage. The palate is rounded and supple, supported by pleasant tannins and a persistent, intense finish. The 2022 vintage can be enjoyed now for its approachable fruit and polished texture, although a few years in bottle should allow the flavours to integrate further. It is likely to develop well over the medium term, particularly when stored in cool, dark conditions.

Production
Produced in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation of France’s Northern Rhône, the wine is made from the region’s principal red grape, Syrah. The domaine’s vineyards extend across several communes, although specific parcel and harvesting details for this cuvée are not provided. Vinification takes place traditionally in closed, temperature-controlled tanks, followed by 15 months of maturation in 600-litre oak demi-muids.

Food & Serving
This versatile Rhône red is well suited to both white and red meats, including roast poultry, veal, lamb and grilled or braised dishes. Its fruit, structure and oak seasoning also make it a natural partner for mature, full-flavoured cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C; decant for 30–60 minutes when serving young to open the aromas and soften the tannins.

Producer
Domaine de Remizières is a family-run estate whose history spans three generations. The domaine began with around 4 hectares, before Alphonse Desmeure left the Tain-l’Hermitage cooperative cellar in 1973, where he had previously delivered half of his production. His son Philippe, involved from a young age, took over in 1977 and guided the estate’s continued growth. Today, Domaine de Remizières covers approximately 30 hectares across several communes and has received numerous awards for its wines.
