Description
This red Crozes-Hermitage wine is the brainchild of Maxime Graillot who joined his father, Alain, at Domaine Graillot in 2004, the same year that he launched Domaine des Lises with his long-time friend Thomas Schmittel. It hails from a 6.5-hectare parcel of 30+ year-old vines planted on free-draining gravel soils located south-east of the Graillot HQ, Les Chênes Verts.
The vines are later harvesting than those of ‘Domaine’ Alain Graillot and all the fruit is de-stemmed, another difference in style. This makes the finished wine of ‘des Lises’ more fruit intense.
