Domaine des Hauts Châssis

Northern Rhône Syrah and white blends from Crozes-Hermitage's granite slopes.

Domaine des Hauts Châssis produces wines from Crozes-Hermitage, the largest appellation in the Northern Rhône. The estate works with the region's signature varieties: Syrah for red wines and the white duo of Roussanne and Marsanne. Les Châssis Crozes-Hermitage, a Syrah-based wine, represents the winery's red expression, while L'Essentiel Crozes-Hermitage and Les Calcaires Saint-Peray showcase the aromatic, structured whites the Northern Rhône is known for. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Wine Enthusiast. Crozes-Hermitage sits on the left bank of the Rhône, where granite and schist soils and a continental climate shape wines of mineral precision and age-worthiness. The appellation offers a more approachable entry point to Northern Rhône Syrah than its prestigious neighbors, without sacrificing complexity.
