Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Maxime and Antoine Graillot are now in charge of the family estate. Alain Graillot, who passed away in 2022, initiated the wine estate movement in the Châssis area in the mid-1980s. His cuvée la-guiraude, always a selection of the cellar's best barrels, is a benchmark for the appellation, with undoubted ageing potential. Generations pass, but the style remains.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
The great Alain Graillot sadly passed away in 2022. This talented, visionary winemaker has left his two sons, Antoine and Maxime, an estate that sits atop the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, demonstrating for many years the potential of the appellation's finest terroirs. Set in the heart of the alluvial plain of pure pebbles and gravel at La Roche-de-Glun, the estate produces Syrahs that are finer and more structured than most in the area. The strength of these wines lies in the immediate pleasure they provide, even if they are capable of ageing with complexity over ten years... or even much longer.

About the wine:
Fermented from 100% whole bunches, Crozes-Hermitage 2023 presents notes of ripe red fruit, hints of cob and aromas of pencil shavings, licorice and cedar. Medium to full-bodied and fresh, the 2023 promises to be a delicious red Crozes-Hermitage. The finish is long and precise.
