Free shipping to 概要
Alain Graillot left a career in agrochemicals in 1985 to follow a dream on a rented plot of vineyards on the site of a former pig farm on the Chassis plateau between Tain l'Hermitage and Pont l'Isère in the Crozes-Hermitage appellation in the northern Rhône.
Today Alain is one of the most respected winemakers in the Rhône valley whose wines appear on the list of France's best restaurants and who counts many celebrated winemakers in his circle of friends. The Graillot philosophy is as simple as he is successful - to produce attractive, sensibly shaped wines at prices that people will want to drink.
Alain's vineyard today is made up of 17.3 hectares of Syrah vines and 2.6 hectares of Marsanne and Roussanne vines (planted in an 80% to 20% Marasanne Roussanne ratio) that surround his cellars at Les Chênes Verts. This is a great source of light but characterful wines of red and white Crozes-Hermitage, with a pronounced fruit flavour.
