    1. Jacob Hopper –

      La Tablee: Graillot Dinner (Al Coro): No detailed notes here. This was poured as a sipper for the reception before the dinner. In line with the other vintages with the white fleshy fruit.

    2. Tony Kim –

      A deliciously silky yet vibrant blend of 80% Marsanne and 20% Roussanne.Scents of stone fruits, apricots and honey blossom underscored by a complexing kernel nuttiness. The palate is succulent fruit/peach deftly balanced by citrus/zesty acidity and a fine phenolic grip that carries the length of the palate.

    Nestled in Crozes-Hermitage in the northern Rhône, Domaine Alain Graillot has been crafting exceptional wines since its inception in 1985 by founder Alain Graillot.

The estate today boasts about 22 hectares, predominantly Syrah vines, complemented by plots of Marsanne and Roussanne. Situated on sandy, gravelly terrains with alluvial stones, the vineyards produce a robust Syrah, particularly from the Crozes-Hermitage vineyard planted in 1973. Embracing organic farming, every grape is handpicked, ensuring impeccable quality. Their signature wine, La Guiraude from Crozes-Hermitage, is reserved for the best vintages.

    Marsanne

    Marsanne, a venerable white wine grape variety, boasts a rich history rooted in the picturesque Rhône Valley. Named after a commune near Montélimar in the Drôme region of the northern Rhône, Marsanne's journey has expanded globally, finding a home in Savoie, Switzerland, Australia, and the United States. Its birthplace is shrouded in the charm of the Rhône Valley, where it has thrived for centuries. The Rhône Valley tradition is deeply entwined with Marsanne, often blended with the aromatic Roussanne and internationally paired with Viognier. Together, Marsanne and Roussanne create the essence of white wines in Crozes-Hermitage and Saint-Joseph, as well as the sparkling whites of Saint-Péray. These grapes, alongside Grenache Blanc and Viognier, contribute to the luscious white...Please check Marsanne for more information
