Laurent Habrard - Crozes-Hermitage Rouge

2020 vintage. This wine is made from 100% Syrah grapes. It hails from Crozes - Hermitage in the Rhone Valley, France. Laurent Habrard is a fifth - generation family - run winery in the northern Rhone region. Since 2011, it has adopted certified organic and biodynamic methods, using wind and solar energy and a rainwater recovery system. Syrah thrives in the Rhone's rocky soils, which impart unique flavors to the wine. This wine offers lovely notes of purple blossoms, dark cherries, and blackberries, along with bright acidity and fine, silky tannins. It pairs perfectly with grilled lamb chops or braised beef stew.

To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour before serving. Pour it into a wide - rimmed wine glass to allow the aromas to fully develop. You can serve it at a temperature of around 18 - 20°C. As for food pairing, as mentioned, it goes great with grilled lamb chops or braised beef stew. But you can also try it with other red - meat dishes. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place. Once opened, keep it in the fridge and consume it within 2 - 3 days to maintain its flavor.
