Domaine des Hauts Châssis Crozes-Hermitage L'Essentiel
Domaine des Hauts Châssis Crozes-Hermitage L'Essentiel has a deep golden color with amber hues. The fragrance is an intense intoxicating expression of candied fruit with floral and spicy notes: dried apricots and candied citrus, ginger, cardamom and fenugreek. The contrasting taste has a languid aspect of volume, roundness and creaminess on the one hand, with the aromatic power of licorice and balsamic on the other.
The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted directly at the vineyard. The grape bunches are pressed, followed by cold settling after 24-48 hours. After fermentation in tanks, the wine is aged for 6 months in stainless steel tanks on its fine lees.
The vineyards of Crozes-Hermitage are located on the east bank of the Rhone River at the 45th parallel. The prestigious vineyards of Crozes-Hermitage are the largest in the northern appellation and include 11 villages producing red wine from Syrah and white wine from Roussanne and Marsanne grapes. The white wines have a beautiful golden color, are rich but dry and well balanced.

Domaine des Hauts Châssis
Domaine des Hauts Châssis is located in the heart of the place called Les Hauts Châssis in the south of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. Franck Faugier took over the daily management of this beautiful family domain in 2003. Until then, fruit was grown, apricots, cherries and peaches, in addition to wine grapes. The fruit orchards have now been sold and only vines are grown on the 17 hectares. Franck breaks with the practice of selling grapes and wine to the Cave Cooperative and starts to bottle his, now organic, beautiful wines.
The vineyards are located on different plots in Northern Rhône. Of which 14 hectares in Crozes-Hermitage red and 1 hectare in white, 1.5 hectares in Saint-Joseph and 0.5 hectares in Saint-Péray.
In order to process the fruit perfectly, the domain currently has 22 smaller stainless steel tanks in the modern barrel room. For the final maturation in oak, there are classic barriques of 225 liters, barrels of 400 liters and demi muids of 600 liters. Only a small part of the barrels are completely new. In terms of style, all wines are point-pure and characteristic of, especially the Syrah, from this part of France. Since 2017, all wines of the domain are certified organic.
