Alain Graillot’s Crozes-Hermitage is a benchmark northern Rhône Syrah, sourced from gravelly terraces near Pont de l’Isère. 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 Graillot’s energetic, unadorned style.

"Bottled in March 2024, the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage is marked by barnyard notes that point to the presence of Brettanomyces. Even though there is some complexity through black fruit, cedar and cured meat notes, the 2022 has an overall rusticity and dryness that does not entice my palate. I recommend going for the exquisite 2021 or the upcoming 2023." —Nicolas Greinacher

More about Alain Graillot

What exactly does it mean to be a reference point wine? Is it just a synonym for "good" or "really good?" Does it mean, "old and established" or "expensive and difficult to find?"

In Crozes-Hermitage, there is only one reference point: Alain Graillot.

Clearly, then, "reference point" does not mean old, for Graillot has only been around since 1985. It also does not mean expensive: Graillot's Crozes-Hermitage remains one of the best values in the Northern Rhône, in just about every vintage.

Graillot’s wines are clean, pure and polished. They are delicious young, so it's tempting to think of them as modern. Yet, peek in the cellar, and you find nothing but tradition. They work with whole clusters and avoid new barriques, for example. It is through precision, good hygiene, and obsessive work in the fields that Graillot achieves these beautiful wines.
