Crozes Hermitage: Domaine des Lises 2009

The principal wine produced by Alain Graillot's son Maxime, called ‘Domaine des Lises’. It is more structured with firmer tannins than it's 'Equinoxe' sibling. It is a classic mid-weight offering that can be drunk young ‘sur les fruits’ but can easily support 2-3 years bottle-age.

What others think of this wine...

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate, December 2011 says:

The sexier 2009 Crozes-Hermitage reveals fatter, more succulent, fleshier fruit, deep cassis flavors, medium to full body and soft acids. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.
