"He is the perfect embodiment of youth and freshness.
Produced from low yields, as is the case for all the estate's production, this Crozes-Hermitage opens with a pale yellow color, and a delicious lemony, honeyed nose with hints of pear and pineapple. Fresh and delicate, it shows great elegance. - Screw-cap - Very limited quantities.

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 (guide 2026) 91/100 (Vintage 2023)
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.
