Domaine des Lises, Domaine Équis [Maxime Graillot], Crozes-Hermitage, 2023

$38.00

Domaine des Lises is the more approachable side of Maxime Graillot’s work in Crozes-Hermitage, sourced from gravel and alluvial soils on the plain below Hermitage. The vines are farmed organically and harvested by hand, and the winemaking is deliberately restrained—whole-cluster influence, native yeasts, and aging in neutral oak—to keep the focus on fruit purity and texture.

This vintage is vibrant and expressive, showing blackberry, black cherry and violets with a hint of cracked pepper. The palate is supple and energetic, with fine tannins and clean acidity giving the wine definition without weight. It’s a clear, honest expression of northern Rhône Syrah, bright, savory and crafted with the precision that has made the Graillot family’s wines consistently sought after.

Varietal: Syrah
Appellation: Crozes-Hermitage, Northern Rhône, France
Farming: Organic practices; hand-harvested
Style: Red. Fresh, savory and finely structured
