Domaine des Hauts Chassis Crozes-Hermitage Les Chassis
Domaine des Hauts Chassis Crozes-Hermitage Les Chassis has a deep crimson color with mahogany and mauve tones, the nose will discover an elegant expression where the candied fruit is enriched with spicy and balsamic notes, but also a floral expression: light tobacco, vanilla and cocoa, eglantine flour, fig and cherry brandy, rosemary and turmeric. The delicate and harmonized taste is both smooth and fresh.
The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted directly at the vineyard. The vines are 80 years old. The red wines of this vintage come from Syrah grapes. Voluptuous and soft with a deep red color and notes of red fruit in combination with a floral aroma. Although Crozes-Hermitage can mature for several years, it can also be drunk young. Fresh in the early years, it will develop stronger notes of spice and leather over the years as the wine ages.
15% of the wine is aged in new 400 liter barrels and the other part in 300 liter barrels both for 12 months.

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.
