Alain Graillot is one of the icons of the Rhone. A small producer who has stuck to his morals on low intervention, classical old school techniques and the need to be “organic, without the fuss”. We have been a huge fan of his through the years and we are delighted to offer some of his wines alongside our other iconic producers.
Alain Graillot’s Crozes-Hermitage is what he’s known for. His staple, knock-it-out-of-the-park amazing wine that is still incredibly good value versus what you pay for from producers with his level of notoriety in other regions like Burgundy or Bordeaux. The wine is 100% Syrah, therefore spice-driven with dark berries, dark cherry, peppery olive and a floral, liquorice nose. In the mouth, the wine has layer upon layer of texture, fruits and flavour; fleshy blueberry & blackberry; bitter cherry, black olive, smokiness and then a sweeter fruit layer which lengthens out to a defined zesty, mineral edge. This wine always shows a fine refined elegance along with energy! The finish is spicy and long. Can drink and be enjoyed now or put away and aged for 10 years +.
