Almost opaque with a purple hue, this is classic syrah from the Northern Rhone. Rich and spicy on the nose with an underlying savoury quality, the palate is rich and spicy too, with ripe approachable tannins. The finish is long, smooth and velvety.

Camille Cayran is made by winemaker Thierry Caymaris, of Cave de Cairanne...
Lifted perfumes of cherry, cassis and strawberry on the nose which follow through onto the palate. The wine is full in body, with a juicy fruit core and firm but ripe tannins providing support. The long, lingering finish reveals complexity of wild herbs and cinnamon.750ml bottle

A lively, agile, tangy, young Syrah oozes ripe, succulent peppery fruit from every pore. Vibrant, smile-inducing Syrah.

Pale golden colour. Lovely enticing fresh nose, like a late spring crisp morning. Hint of apricots from the 20% Roussanne Good length, very attractive mouth filling wine, with fine attack. Very good alternative to Chardonnay. Lovely aperitif, or to accompany with fish or chicken.

The 2011 is ruby red in colour with a perfume of cassis and spice. The palate is full and smooth, with an intensely fruity, opulent core and very round tannins. The finish is long and is lifted by the sweet spice of Syrah alongside the cherry fruit of the Grenache.

Such good dark fruit up front, then covered by massive chalky tannins with great density and strength of white pepper, wild raspberry, mint and tar .
Cannot wait until this reaches its potential.750ml bottle

Alain Graillot stormed in the Crozes wine scene in the mid-80’s, and by the end of the decade seemed to be producing the best wines of the appellation. A dip followed in the early 90’s, but since the second half of the decade, Alain Graillot is back in impressive form. 100% syrah, this dark red-coloured wine is dense and filled with blackberry, loganberry with hints of tar and game. This wine oozes power through a lengthy, driven finish. The fruit is ripe and plentiful with notes of mineral, toast and garrigue.

A beautiful golden yellow colour glinting with silver. The wine is clear and very bright.
The nose is complex and powerful, white flowers, dried fruit, candied white fruit, with a honeyed side too, notes of beeswax furniture polish reinforce the complexity without making it heavy. The elevage in French oak is well managed; revealing some nice vanilla notes; hints which in no way dominate the wine. Each element takes its place and contributes to the fulfilment of a harmonious marriage.
The palate is superb, lightly candied white fruit and again, hints of vanilla and honey. The sucrosité is just right, giving volume, intensity and length.750ml bottle
