Alain Graillot; Crozes-Hermitage; 2015; 6 (1 x 6); 750ml

Alain Graillot, who founded his domaine in 1985 after learning his craft at Domaine Dujac in Burgundy, was one of the most revered names of the northern Rhône, the grower who did more than anyone to prove the quality potential of Crozes-Hermitage. Farmed organically on the pebbly Châssis plateau and made with whole bunches, his Syrah is all perfume and finesse; the estate is now run by his sons Maxime and Antoine. 2015 was an outstanding northern Rhône vintage. Josh Raynolds from Vinous and Joe Czerwinski from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate each gave it a rating of 92, and Julian Leidy gave it 16.5 out of 20.

Estimate:£230.07
