Domaine Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage Northern Rhône

Northern Rhône, France

Classic Crozes-Hermitage from Domaine Alain Graillot, widely regarded as the appellation's finest producer and a legend of the Northern Rhône. The estate Crozes-Hermitage shows the Northern Rhône's characteristic Syrah personality — black olive, smoked meat, violets, and cracked black pepper — with an additional freshness and accessibility that sets Graillot apart from the more austere style of Hermitage. Produced from estate vineyards across Crozes-Hermitage's diverse terroirs of granite, limestone, and alluvial soils. An exceptional value in the Northern Rhône pantheon.
