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.
Description
This is a terrific release from Maxime Graillot. Powerful Syrah, with intense black cherries and blackberries. Firm tannins with clarity and a fine bead of acidity that compete on the palate. Really engaging to drink.
Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roast chicken, charcuterie and herb-driven dishes. It also complements Mediterranean cuisine and dishes featuring olives or earthy flavours.
