Crozes Hermitage Graillot Crozes Hermitage, 2022

Crozes-Hermitage Graillot 2022 is a benchmark Northern Rhône red that showcases pure Syrah character with depth, finesse, and unmistakable regional identity. Known for its balance of dark fruit, spice, and savoury mineral detail, it reflects both the Graillot style and the distinctive terroir of Crozes-Hermitage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby colour with a lively, youthful edge. The nose is expressive and layered, offering blackberries, black cherries, violet, cracked pepper, olives, and a subtle smoky earthiness. On the palate, expect a supple yet structured Syrah with fresh acidity, fine tannins, and plenty of energy. Dark berry fruit is joined by savoury spice and a hint of leather or graphite, giving the wine both charm and seriousness. While already appealing in youth, it should also reward a few years of cellaring as the aromatics become more integrated and complex.

Production
Crozes-Hermitage lies on the eastern bank of the Rhône, where a mix of alluvial soils, clay, gravel, and galets helps produce wines with both freshness and breadth. Graillot is known for working with a natural, low-intervention philosophy, aiming to preserve the character of the fruit and the nuances of the vineyard. Fermentation and ageing are typically handled in a way that supports purity, structure, and texture rather than heavy oak influence.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, duck breast, roast chicken, game birds, mushroom dishes, and hearty lentil stews. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening young, especially to help the aromatics open up and the tannins soften.

Producer
Graillot is one of the most respected names in Crozes-Hermitage, widely admired for helping define the modern reputation of the appellation. The producer has earned a strong following among Rhône lovers for its consistent quality, elegant Syrah style, and focus on terroir expression. Over time, the estate has become a reference point for the region and a favourite for those seeking authentic Northern Rhône character.
