Laurent Fayolle produces Syrah and Marsanne from the Northern Rhône, where steep granite slopes and continental climate shape wines of precision and depth. Les Diognières Hermitage, a pure Syrah from the appellation's most prestigious terroir, demonstrates the dark fruit and mineral structure the region is known for. Les Pontaix Crozes-Hermitage, also Syrah, captures the broader appellation's character with similar intensity at a different scale. Montis Saint-Péray, made from Marsanne, represents the white wine tradition of the Northern Rhône—a grape that yields wines with weight and complexity. Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter have rated these wines.
