Entrefaux, Crozes Hermitage Les Champs Fourne, 2022
There’s a clarity to Les Champs Fourne that sets it apart from heavier, oak-driven Crozes-Hermitage. The 2022 vintage delivers Syrah at its most expressive—bright, fragrant, and structured, but never overworked. The fruit comes from biodynamically farmed vines rooted in gravel and clay, a terroir that lends both finesse and power.
Take a sip, and the wine moves in layers. First, brambly blackberries and tart red plums. Then, a wave of savory black olive, cracked pepper, and garrigue. The tannins are present but polished, allowing for both immediate drinkability and age-worthiness. There’s no excess—just balance, purity, and the unmistakable Rhône Valley spice that lingers long after the last sip.
Some will want to cellar this for a few years, letting its earthier side develop. Others will pull the cork now, letting it shine alongside a grilled steak, roasted game, or even a smoky, spice-laden vegetable dish. Either way, it’s a Syrah that reminds you why the Northern Rhône remains the benchmark.
