Matthieu Barret's Crozes-Hermitage "Et La Bannière" showcases the elegance of Syrah from the northern Rhône Valley. This 2020 vintage captures the region's signature character—ripe dark fruit, subtle spice, and refined tannins. Crozes-Hermitage sits just south of the prestigious Hermitage appellation, offering excellent quality at an approachable price point. The Syrah grape thrives in this cooler climate, developing complexity and balance. A versatile wine that pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game, and hearty dishes.
