Crozes-Hermitage is a French wine Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) in the northern Rhône wine region of France. The appellation is the largest in the northern Rhone and its wines are less highly regarded than those from the nearby appellations of Côte-Rôtie or its near-namesake Hermitage. Most of the wines produced here are red wines made from the Syrah grape sometimes blended with small quantities of white Roussanne or Marsanne grapes.
