Alain Graillot 2022 White Crozes-Hermitage French Wine

Discover Alain Graillot’s exceptional Crozes-Hermitage white wine—a masterclass in Northern Rhône viticulture crafted from a harmonious 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne blend. Hailing from the 2022 vintage, this wine embodies the legacy of one of France’s most celebrated producers.

Alain Graillot’s domaine has long been synonymous with excellence since its founding in 1985. Now led by his sons Maxime and Antoine since 2008, the family continues Alain’s unwavering commitment to organic farming and traditional techniques. Each vineyard parcel is hand-harvested from stony soils, preserving the purity of these Rhône Valley grapes. The wine undergoes whole-cluster fermentation and ages in meticulously sourced Burgundy barrels (1–3 years old), ensuring a balance of elegance and complexity without overpowering oak influence.

This 2022 vintage showcases bright citrus and stone-fruit notes layered with hints of honey and almond, framed by crisp acidity and a mineral-driven finish—a testament to Graillot’s meticulous craftsmanship. Ideal for pairing with rich seafood dishes or creamy cheeses, it offers both approachability and age-worthy potential.

A standout among Northern Rhône whites, this wine stands apart through its organic integrity and the domaine’s dedication to preserving ancestral winemaking practices. Limited quantities of their rare barrel selection “La Guiraude” highlight their pursuit of excellence in exceptional vintages.

At 13% alcohol by volume, this wine delivers refined enjoyment for discerning palates. A must-try for fans of premium Rhône whites seeking authenticity and depth. Availability may vary; check local stock for current vintages.
