Alain Graillot, Crozes-Hermitage, 2022 reasonable_cellar_2022 showing wild red fruitAlain Graillots Crozes Hermitage is a benchmark northern Rhne Syrah, sourced from gravelly terraces near Pont de lIsre. Since 1985, Graillot has championed pure, vibrant expressions. Fermented with whole clusters and aged in used barrels, it balances dark fruit with savory spice. A classic Crozes, true to Graillots energetic, unadorned style.
