Crozes Hermitage Graillot Crozes Hermitage - Magnum 1,5L, 2022

The Crozes-Hermitage from Graillot is one of the benchmark expressions of Northern Rhône Syrah, and in magnum format it offers even greater aging potential and freshness over time. From a producer long admired for elevating the reputation of Crozes-Hermitage, this 2022 vintage combines purity, depth, and the savory character that has made Graillot a reference name for the appellation.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a dark, vibrant ruby color with an unmistakably Syrah-driven profile. The nose typically opens with blackberries, wild herbs, violets, pepper, and a subtle smoky, earthy edge, while the palate is medium-bodied, energetic, and finely structured, balancing ripe dark fruit with spice, mineral tension, and a firm but polished finish. The magnum format should support graceful development, allowing the wine to evolve beautifully over several years. Young and expressive now, it can be enjoyed for its freshness and aromatic lift, but it also has the structure to gain complexity with short- to medium-term cellaring.

Production
Crozes-Hermitage is the largest appellation of the Northern Rhône, with vineyards planted on a mix of alluvial soils, terraces, and granite-influenced sites that help give Syrah its savory, structured character. Graillot is known for a hands-off approach that emphasizes ripe fruit and terroir expression, with careful harvesting and vinification aimed at preserving perfume, freshness, and texture rather than masking the grape’s natural identity.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine, especially with roasted duck, grilled lamb, beef short ribs, game, mushroom dishes, or Provençal-style vegetables and herbs. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if opening young to let the aromatics fully unfold.
