Born and raised in the Northern Rhône, Alain Graillot first studied in Burgundy before returning home and establishing his domaine in the mid-80's. Known almost exclusively for Crozes-Hermitage, Graillot and son, Maxime (in charge since 2008), organically farm a 4 acre plot in St. Joseph, employing whole-cluster fermentation and aging in used Burgundy barrels. A must have.
