Domaine Maxime Graillot
Son of the doyen of Crozes-Hermitage, Alain Graillot, Maxime was
initially unsure whether to assume the family mantle, despite having studied at
Dijon Wine School.
The gauntlet was laid down with the inheritance/acquisition of 6.5 hectares just outside Pont de lIsère; the challenge even more focused as the vines had been somewhat neglected.
With patience and industry Maxime has transformed the vineyard and increased the planting density by a factor of 200%. In the winery he has a head start, sharing his fathers facilities, and ageing his wines in old Burgundian casks.

Maxime’s junior cuvée, presumably bottled somewhere around the Spring Equinox, its profile informed by a degree of carbonic maceration; a profile which is both lively and agile, with strawberry and blackberry fruit underpinned by notes of tapenade and spice. (Simon Field MW, ... MORE | ||||

Maxime Graillot is clearly a ‘chip off the old block’: his wines just get better and better. His 2007 Les Lises is wonderfully elegant with Crozes-Hermitage’s signature tapenade notes to the fore, and the purity of the cassis and raspberry fruit underpinned by fine silky tannins.
