Hermitage & Crozes Hermitage

A blend of 75% Marsanne and 25% Roussanne. Whole-bunch pressed and cold-settled. The nose is fresh and sweet with hints of peach, offering a harmonious and complete profile. As it develops, a subtle nutty note emerges on the mid-palate. Well-balanced and approachable, it will be enjoyable relatively early.

Light- to medium-bodied, the La Chapelle Blanc shows intense floral aromas, wet stone minerality, citrus zest with hints of apricot and pear. The alcohol is well balanced, with well-integrated oak.

This world-renowned red Crozes-Hermitage is Alain Graillot's principal wine in terms of production, and hails from mature Syrah rootstock on the 'Les Chassis' plateau. 100% whole-cluster fermentation in stainless steel or concrete vats, followed by aging in 1–3 year-old barrels. It has an intense black fruit bouquet and plump palate of dark, hedgerow berries, a good palate-cleansing acidity and fine-grained tannins.

The 2023 vintage in the Northern Rhône was particularly warm and dry, producing a typically very dark, deep, and concentrated wine, with notes of blackberry, violet, liquorice, and smoked meat. However, whilst powerful, it still refined, full of charm and aromatic intensity that maintains excellent energy and freshness.

Made from 100% destemmed fruit with daily pumpovers, this medium-bodied wine shows classic black raspberry, blackberries and blackcurrants with some spice, pepper, and hints of floral notes. Well integrated oak with a smooth ripe tannic finish.
