Domaine des Lises (Max Graillot) Crozes-Hermitage 2019
Organic. The most famous name in Crozes-Hermitage is Alain Graillot, who sadly passed away in early 2022. This is the winery of his son, Maxime, and the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree!
100% Syrah is hand-harvested from manually plowed organic vineyards. The wine is then aged in used barrels from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (Currently retailing at up to $25,000 a bottle)! Berries, herbs, licorice, and earthy notes are all balanced in this polished beauty.
Dark berries, licorice, olive and exotic spice aromas pick up a suave floral note with air. Sappy and energetic on the palate, offering bitter cherry, blackberry and star anise flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. The floral nuance reappears on a very long, dark-fruit-driven finish, with building tannins providing shape and grip. One-third whole clusters.
