Crozes-Hermitage can be considered the gateway to the red and white wines of the Northern Rhone Valley: Crozes displays the unique, signature style of the sites and grapes of the Northern Rhone in an approachable, appealing and great value fashion. Whites make up a small percentage of production in the Rhone, under 2%, but white wines are a little bit of a secret specialty at Guigal and today comprise over 20% of their production. And for good reason, as the whites of the Northern Rhone are true discovery wines, immensely appealing and complex. They specifically display an expresiveness and brightness while also capturing the warmth of the area. Explosive and exotic floral and fruit aromas and flavors meld with intense mineral notes, and the silky, powerful concentration of flavors has an appealing roundness that finishes remarkably fresh.
