Alain Graillot Crozes Hermitage 2022 red Jeroboam

Although Crozes-Hermitage 2022 comes from an incredibly ripe and powerful vintage, it still presents itself as a classic Northern Rhône in both aroma and mouthfeel, which could be explained by the earlier harvest and the inclusion of 100% stalks. Ripe blackberry, violet, ground pepper, blueberry, smoked meat and subtle saline, earthy and forest nuances define the aromas, and the palate is medium-bodied, with a layered texture, ripe but perfectly integrated tannins, good acidity and a lovely finish. It's already hard to resist this magnificent Crozes-Hermitage.
