The 2021 Crozes-Hermitage “Mise en Bouche” from Domaine Emmanuel Darnaud is a cuvée designed to offer an enticing introduction to the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Produced from young vines, this wine showcases the fruitiness and freshness of Syrah while reflecting the distinctive clay-limestone terroir of the region. The cooler 2021 vintage resulted in a well-balanced, approachable, and elegant wine.
Blend
100% Syrah, the signature grape of Crozes-Hermitage. This variety imparts black fruit, spice, and violet aromas, along with a solid tannic structure.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: A beautiful ruby red color with violet highlights, bright and radiant.
Nose: The nose is expressive and inviting, dominated by aromas of red and black fruits (raspberry, blackberry) combined with floral notes of violet, typical of Syrah. Hints of black pepper, licorice, and subtle nuances of garrigue complete the aromatic profile.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is fresh and light, with supple tannins and a pleasant texture. The flavors of red and black fruits are pronounced, supported by gentle spices and a discreet minerality. The acidity adds a lively touch, making the wine harmonious and easy to drink. The finish is fruity and slightly spicy, offering good length.
Aging Potential
The 2021 Crozes-Hermitage “Mise en Bouche” is crafted to be enjoyed young, within 3 to 5 years, to fully appreciate its freshness and fruit-forward character. However, it can be kept for up to 6 or 7 years, during which it will develop more complex aromas of underbrush and spices.

Grilled or sauced white meats (roast chicken, pork tenderloin)
Fine charcuterie (prosciutto, salami)
Pasta with tomato or Bolognese sauce
