The domaine’s grilled-meat note sits close to cinnamon, vanilla and black pepper. The 12.5% alcohol keeps this 2022 Crozes-Hermitage agile on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruit for Domaine des Entrefaux Crozes-Hermitage 2022 comes from Syrah grown in the northern Rhône district of Crozes-Hermitage, with sustainable certification noted for this bottling. The vineyard base is listed on granite and limestone, a useful detail for this wine’s feel in the glass. The 2022 carries dark fruit rather than a sweet-fruited gloss, with black pepper and smoke already clear in the raw aromatic profile. Its 12.5% alcohol gives the wine a measured frame for a barrel-aged red from this part of the Rhône.\n\nIn the cellar, this Crozes-Hermitage spends 12 to 18 months in French oak barrels, using a mix of new and older wood. That ageing shows in a quiet thread of vanilla, cinnamon and baking spice. The older barrels keep the savoury Syrah notes close to the surface. The new oak adds polish to the tannins and a soft edge to the finish. A faint grilled-meat aroma sits beside the spice, followed by a dry palate with a velvety grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2022 Domaine des Entrefaux Crozes-Hermitage pours deep ruby, with a dark core and a violet rim that fit its ripe northern Rhône Syrah profile from the first swirl. The nose goes straight to cracked black pepper, cinnamon bark and the grilled-meat smoke that marks this Domaine des Entrefaux release more than simple fresh berry fruit. On the palate it feels velvety and dry, with 12.5% alcohol giving a supple pace and keeping the fruit in a clear black-plum register. Vanilla sits in the background of the 12 to 18 month French barrel ageing, then fine tannins carry black fruit, smoke and spice through a lingering finish. Drink 2024-2030.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePour Domaine des Entrefaux Crozes-Hermitage 2022 with grilled lamb chops, especially if the fat has picked up a little char from the pan or barbecue. The wine’s black pepper and smoke also fit venison stew, duck breast with a dark jus or a simple ribeye finished with rosemary. For a regional direction, serve it with caillette ardéchoise or saucisson from the Rhône table, where the cured meat brings out the Syrah’s savoury side. Aged Comté or Tomme de Savoie gives the French oak spice a nutty echo, and the wine’s dry finish keeps the cheese from feeling heavy. The cinnamon and vanilla notes also suit slow-braised beef cheeks with root vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine des Entrefaux is closely tied to Crozes-Hermitage, and its red wines place Syrah in a savoury register that feels direct for a large northern Rhône appellation. The concrete signature is texture, shown in this 2022 through velvety tannins, grilled-meat aromas and a pepper line that remains clear after the oak spice. The estate farms sustainably, and the certification for this bottling gives a specific farming marker alongside the granite and limestone soils listed for the wine. French barrels are part of the Entrefaux vocabulary, with new and older oak adding cinnamon and vanilla around the black-fruited core. The domaine’s Crozes-Hermitage is shaped as a dry, food-facing red rather than a showpiece built around alcohol, and the 12.5% level makes that especially visible here. In the glass, the producer’s hand appears as smoke, black pepper, soft tannin and a measured touch of French oak.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine des Entrefaux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54426740883793,"sku":"GWCOM-GW001199","price":28.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/GW001199.png?v=1785227276","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/domaine-des-entrefaux-les-machonniers-rouge-crozes-hermitage-2022-075l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
