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.
Description
Youthful, more early drinking expression of Syrah from Maxime Graillot, the wine is fully destemmed, with attractive hedgerow fruits, florals and hints of tilled earth and a peppery edge. The palate is medium bodied with a refreshing drinkability and gentle tannin profile.
Food Pairing
A versatile red that pairs well with grilled meats, roast chicken, charcuterie and Mediterranean dishes. It can also be served slightly chilled and works well with lighter fare and herb-driven cuisine.
