* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Alain Graillot, chemical industry executive turned farmer, is showing how good Crozes-Hermitage really can be. The 1999 vintage of his special cuvée, La Guiraude, is a powerful, but bright wine, full of red fruits and firm tannins and balancing acidity. Raisins and rich fruit join the mixture that goes to make an immediately enticing wine, but one that should age over the next 10 years.

A hands-down favorite from this tasting, the Graillot shows black fruit, cocoa, bacon, cumin and fruitcake on the nose. In the mouth, it’s medium-weight with a chewy mouthfeel, and has sexy, smoldering smoked-bacon, blueberry and white-pepper flavors. Its long, smoky finish with tangy tannins is something we look forward to experiencing many times between now and 2010. Cellar Selection.
