Beautiful expression of Cornas, with black and blue fruit, sweet spice, earth and dried herbs. The palate is linear, with tangy minerality and a long, spice driven finish. Stylish, almost Burgundian in balance and freshness, a trait of Maxime Graillot.

This Cornas is drawn from the vines of a grower the Graillot family has known for decades. There are three parcels: 25% is from a 20-year-old site on the slopes of the great Cornas lieu-dit Les Chaillots; La Sabarotte (with 35-year-old vines) contributes another 25%; and La Côte (80- to 90-year-old vines, on a 50% gradient) makes up the other half. All are on hillsides where the soils are very rich in granite.

Domaine des Lises

Domaine des Lises is located in Beaumont Monteux on the appellation Crozes-Hermitage. Purchased in 2003 by Maxime Graillot substantive work has been done on poor lands and over a vineyards in poor condition to bring it back to life. Everything had to be done up: plowing pruning planting and working of an environmentally friendly manner without use of any chemicals. Maxime is meticulous in his work and lead the project till the end. Domaine des Lises appeared on the scene with the fabulous 2004 vintage and immediately gained recognition.
