Etienne Becheras 'Le Prieure d'Arras' - Crozes-Hermitage

This 2018 Crozes-Hermitage red wine hails from France and is crafted from 100% Syrah grapes. In the Northern Rhône, which has the largest vineyard area, Becheras' estate in Arras is blended with an ash and acacia forest where truffles and mushrooms grow. The wine bursts with flavors of olive, blue blossoms, black pepper, licorice, and an abundance of dark fruits.

To enjoy this wine, first let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour to open up its flavors. Serve it at a cool room temperature, around 60 - 65°F. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. When storing, keep the bottle lying down in a cool, dark place to keep the cork moist and prevent air from getting in. Avoid sudden temperature changes as they can affect the wine's quality. Remember, once opened, finish it within a few days to enjoy its best taste.
