CROZES HERMITAGE LA GUIRAUDE

€96.00

Bouteille 75 cl

Domaine Alain Graillot, a flagship estate in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation, represents over 20 hectares of vines. Since 1985, Alain Graillot has been cultivating his vines in the traditional way, with low yields, short pruning and ploughing. His son, Maxime, has taken over the estate and in turn produces full-bodied, gourmet wines. The estate is distinguished by its fine, well-structured Syrahs, produced on terroirs of pebbles and sand. The result is wines that offer immediate pleasure, with an ageing potential of around ten years.

About

An emblematic cuvée from the Alain Graillot family estate, La Guiraude shows the full potential of its 100% Syrah grape from an early age. Produced only in great vintages, La Guiraude draws its origins from vines planted, for the most part, in 1986 by Alain Graillot, father of the current owners, Antoine and Maxime Graillot.
