The Graillot residence and cellars are just outside the village
of Pont de l'Isère, about 6km south of Tain-l'Hermitage. The Crozes-
Hermitage vineyards are close by, on the flat, rocky land between the
Isère and Rhône rivers. The best sites are at Les Chassis and Les Sept Chemins

80% Marsanne / 20 % Roussanne Organic farming, indigenous yeasts, no malolactic fermentation, fermented and aged in 50% 1 year old Burgundy barrels, 50% stainless steel

.Hand-harvested, grapes are pressed upon arrival at the winery. After settling, about 50% of the must is fermented in barrel (1-year-old oak from top burgundy producers such as Sauzet). The other 50% is given a long, cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. They avoid malolactic to preserve acidity and freshness.
