Graillot's top cuvee, the 2011 Crozes-Hermitage Cuvee Speciale La Guiraude is made from a selection of the finest barrels. It exhibits plenty of green pepper, tapenade and olive aromas intermixed with notions of black currants and cherries. Medium-bodied, rich, spicy, earthy, soft and evolved, it, too, can be drunk over the next 5-6 years. Importer: Europvin, www.europvin.com
