Light body, yet rich in flavor. Smooth, with no distracting notes or aftertaste. A nice vintage—great with a light meal, charcuterie, or dessert — a month ago

Great Carignan but caught this probably 2-3 years before it would start to add the right tertiary elements. Outstanding wine that should creep up to 96 with time. Luscious and fresh dark red fruits, silky fine tannins, the nose on this is really persistent and perfumed! — 7 months ago

Really interesting to try this out. Very light bodied and high acidity, almost out of balance. Aromatically pretty similar to a chardonnay from the Jura. — 2 years ago

Popped and poured; consumed over two days. Consistent throughout. The 2020 Alain Graillot pours a deep ruby with a hit of violet. Medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. Some slight signs of fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is moderate intensity. Fresh black bramble fruit, baked/smoked blueberries, dry oil cured black olives, black pepper, lavender potpourri, dried herb encrusted saucisson, stony minerals and subtle baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry; medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is so long with a streak of minerals. The body is medium but the fruit is so grippy and clings to the palate giving the impression that it’s bigger than it is. Maxime said that they had picked way early compared to previous, recent years and completed harvest by September 3rd; a whole week before their neighbors began harvest. It shows. Remarkably fresh. Lovely. Utterly beautiful. Drink now with patience (and to enjoy the full-send freshness) or enjoy over the next 15+ years. Alain’s legacy seems to be in very good hands. — 2 years ago
