Crozes Hermitage of Domaine Alain Graillot, known as La Guiraude, is an emblematic Syrah produced in the renowned northern Rhône Valley region. This wine perfectly embodies the character of the Crozes Hermitage terroirs, where the continental climate and clay-limestone soils provide an elegant structure and distinctive aromatic complexity. The aging takes place in oak barrels, which impart delicate notes of spices, vanilla, and pleasant toastiness, without overpowering the purity of the fruit. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe red fruits, black pepper, and hints of aromatic herbs are perceived, while on the palate it reveals softness, well-integrated tannins, and a long, spicy finish. La Guiraude pairs wonderfully with red meat dishes, game, and aged cheeses, enhancing every bite with its structure and finesse. A Rhône classic that combines tradition and authenticity.
