Maxime Graillot has served a long apprenticeship under his father, Alain Graillot the leading Domaine in Crozes Hermitage..

The Wine Spectator writes “ ..in the space of 17 years Alain Graillot has established a reputation for making his Crozes Hermitage the most sought after of the appellation. ..They are a special favourite with the most prestigious restaurants in France….”

Max’s main job is winemaker at Domaine Alain Graillot but we were seriously impressed with this from his own label – fruit sourced from his 30 year old organically grown vineyard (soil comprises gravel and ‘les gallets” alluvial pepples – give minerality to the wines) located in Beaumont-Monteaux, south east of Crozes Hermitage. Handpicked fruit, 10-20% whole bunch ferment, 12 months in old Bourgogne oak. We love the fragrance, opulence, purity and savoury complexity of this medium to full bodied Syrah. Gorgeous wine, very approachable, delivering quality and value in spades! Sante!
