This is a wine for reflective evenings, for hands wrapped around a warm glass while thoughts wander. Whilst opening this business, I had lots of those - and if your days are getting heavy, it's a perfect wine. 

Julien Pilon’s Crozes-Hermitage Rouge doesn’t shout — it draws you in quietly, velvet and deep lots of oak barrels & cherry. Like most high-quality range wines from Northern Rhone (circa. 70 km from city of Lyon), the winemaker makes only 6000-8000 bottles of this / year depending on the harvest.

Grapes:
100% Syrah
