Descrizione

The Crozes Hermitage Bianco produced by Domaine Alain Graillot is an exceptional white wine that exemplifies the renowned quality and elegance of the wines from the Rhone Valley. This wine is produced primarily with Marsanne grapes, which give the wine a robust structure and complex aromas.

The Crozes Hermitage Bianco stands out for its bright straw-yellow color and its intense aromas of ripe white fruits, such as pear and peach, mixed with delicate touches of white flowers and a slight spicy note. On the palate, it offers a beautiful acidic freshness that perfectly balances with the richness of the fruit. The mineral sapidity and silky texture make it an excellent companion for rich fish dishes, creamy poultry, or even as an aperitif.

This wine speaks of its terroir, with a purity and intensity of aromas that reflect the passion and craftsmanship of Domaine Alain Graillot. A true gem for connoisseurs seeking a refined and characterful white.

Winery history

Alain Graillot settled in the Crozes-Hermitage area in the mid-1980s and began building the estate’s reputation from 1985, showing the quality possible in the appellation. Over the years the project was also carried on by his sons Maxime and Antoine; Alain Graillot passed away in 2022 and the family has continued to run the estate.

Production philosophy

The approach favors low yields, manual labor and agronomic practices that respect the soil. Red wines are often vinified with whole clusters, using traditional fermentations and moderate barrel aging. The estate is recognized for its care in the vineyard and for a production that seeks to express the terroir rather than a technology-driven style.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate is located on the alluvial plain near Pont-de-l'Isère, in the area known as Les Chênes Verts near Tain-l'Hermitage. The soils are described as sandy, gravelly alluvial soils with pebbles, which contribute to drainage and to the character of the local Syrah.
