Crozes-Hermitage AOC 2018 Alain Graillot

The Crozes Hermitage of Domaine Alain Graillot is made with Syrah grapes in purity within the prestigious appellation of the Northern Rhône.

About twenty hectares are available to the family for meticulous work that includes the use of the whole bunch and stalks, the use of old barriques and an organic approach. After fermentation, the wine remains in barrique for 12 months to best preserve the varietal character.

With a ruby red color of great intensity, it is a wine with a deep and compact nose that brings back the right transition from the tones of red and black fruits in jam to hints of spices and licorice, finished with touches of marjoram and thyme. On the palate it is dense and slender, with fresh acidity and gustatory balance with an excellent balance between acidity and sugars and with well-worked tannins. Long and very pleasant finish.

Long-lived wine, it is suitable for red meats and pasta dishes with mushrooms.
