Gilles Robin

Northern Rhône Syrah from Crozes-Hermitage's granite terroirs.

Gilles Robin works the steep granite slopes of Crozes-Hermitage in the Northern Rhône, where Syrah thrives in continental conditions. The winery's portfolio centers on this single noble variety, expressed across three distinct terroirs and cuvées. The Hermitage, drawn from the appellation's most prestigious hillsides, shows the depth and structure that Syrah achieves at elevation. Saint-Joseph Cuvée Andre Pealat captures the elegance of its northern neighbor, while Crozes-Hermitage 1920 reflects the broader appellation's mineral character. Across these wines, Syrah's signature black pepper, dark fruit, and firm tannins emerge with the precision that Northern Rhône winemaking demands. Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast have all assessed the range.
