Professional Ratings

94 James Suckling

Lively, mineral and driven, offering aromas of forest berries, stones, violets and mild spices. It's medium-bodied with fine tannins. Terroir-driven, crunchy and vivid. Precise, with a transparent, floral, succulent and energetic finish. Drink or hold.

92 Vinous

Graphite, black cherry, cedar and fleshy accents introduce the 2023 Saint-Joseph that™s currently maturing in a 30-hectoliter foudre. Gently framed by ripe tannins, the 2023 is shaping up to be a solid rendition of this wine, winding down with freshness and precision on the spicy finish.

91 Wine Spectator

Restrained and racy, with black plum and fig laced up with grippy, iron-edged tannins. Briny, woodsy tapenade undertones cruise alongside, all powered by tangy acidity on the firm, tightly wound finish. 600 cases made, 150 cases imported. - KB

About the Producer

In France’s Northern Rhone Valley, there are few names as revered as Graillot. It was in 1985 that the late, legendary Alain Graillot, who after working with the venerable Jacques Seysses at Domaine Dujac, came back to his home in Crozes-Hermitage to start his own domaine. With each passing year his devotion to the art of making hauntingly delicious Syrah from his organically farmed, stone-laden vineyards, was rewarded with an ever growing and highly dedicated following around the world.
