Domaine des Remizières Crozes‑Hermitage “Cuvée Particulière” Blanc 2024. New vintage.
Region: Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, France
Grape Variety: 100 % Marsanne from mature, south‑facing vines (25–30 years old).

Maturation: Wine is matured for 8–10 months in large oak vats and 500-litre barrels before bottling.
A striking bouquet of jasmine, lime zest, and apricot leaps from the glass, layered with exotic notes of star anise, marzipan, and a sweet hint of lime marmalade. There’s a playful echo of citrus Starburst beneath it all, adding charm without excess. The palate is vibrantly zesty and dry, yet generous and textural, with a mouthcoating richness balanced by electric acidity. The finish is long, mineral-edged, and finely sculpted—both structured and seductive.
Food Pairing Suggestions:
This wine’s aromatic complexity and bright acidity make it a versatile companion at the table. Ideal pairings include:
-
Fresh seafood: scallops with citrus butter, grilled prawns, or oysters with yuzu vinaigrette
-
