Crozes Hermitage La Guiraude Graillot Crozes Hermitage, 2022

Crozes-Hermitage La Guiraude from Graillot is one of the most sought-after expressions of Syrah from the northern Rhône, known for its depth, precision, and unmistakable sense of place. Produced from selected parcels and crafted in a style that combines power with finesse, it has become a benchmark wine for the appellation and a favorite among Rhône enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this 2022 Crozes-Hermitage typically shows a deep, youthful colour with vibrant purple reflections. The nose is layered and expressive, often combining dark berries, black olive, violet, pepper, and subtle smoky or mineral notes. On the palate, it is structured yet polished, with concentrated blackberry and plum fruit, savory spice, firm but refined tannins, and a long, energetic finish. La Guiraude has the concentration and balance to age beautifully, and the 2022 vintage should reward cellaring for several years, gaining complexity and silkiness over time.

Production
Made in the Rhône from carefully selected Syrah fruit, La Guiraude reflects the gravelly and alluvial soils of Crozes-Hermitage, which help bring both ripeness and freshness to the wine. Graillot is known for working with low intervention in the cellar, allowing the character of the vineyard and vintage to come through clearly. Fermentation and élevage are typically handled with great care to preserve purity, structure, and aromatic detail.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, duck breast, grilled beef, game birds, or hearty mushroom dishes. It also works well with mature hard cheeses and Provençal-style cuisine. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended, especially if opened young.
