2013 vintage. Juicy, bright and quaffable. Cracked pepper, plum, herb. Grainy, grippy tannin. Perfect with pizza and salad in the backyard

Ripe, meaty, a bit of pepper. Classic Rhone style, though not a ton of complexity. Definitely solid for the price

I remAin unimpressed. But, for the price, it's pretty good. Oddly though it tastes like its new world trying to make wine like the old world...maybe I'm being too hard on it. But. Please stop recommending this as a substitute for Alain Graillot. It's not.

The very delicious baby brother of Domaine des Lises. A little less polished but delicious with deep currant and black pepper.

Maxime Graillot wine! Full destemmed: much cleaner style to father Allain.

Nose of leather and barnyard. Silky mouthfeel with medium tannins. Black fruit, bacon, and black pepper.

Syrah, French style. Softer than you might expect, red fruits and a light touch of spice,

Flowers and fruit on nose but not very opened, same thing in mouth. Much better on second day, nose opening on fruits and a black pepper touch. Should be carafed for at least 2 hours or cellared for a few years.
