The relatively cool climate and altitude here–and the mix of red and black clay over a base of limestone and ancient ocean bed remnants–provide the right mix of conditions for scented, juicy, layered Syrah that Alain Graillot hopes will showcase the surprising potential of Morocco. The story has it that Alain was cycling in Morocco (hence the tandem bike and palm tree on the label) when he stopped off at Domaine des Ouled Thaleb, 40 km inland from the Atlantic Ocean. A conversation with the Domaine's then oenologist, Jacques Poulaine, and a close look at sites in Rommani and Benslimane convinced Graillot of the potential for producing highly elegant Syrah. The towns of Rommani and Benslimane lie between Casablanca on the Atlantic Ocean and the Middle Atlas mountains.

As always it comes from a single vineyard near the village of Beaumont-Monteux, only a couple of kilometres from his father's vines. Here, in the most south-easterly part of the appellation, the soils are full of gravel and alluvial stones, low in clay and fast-draining—very similar to the Domaine Alain Graillot soils in Les Chênes Verts, just to the north. This soil type lends itself to a refined, aromatic Syrah with a pronounced savoury profile. Planted throughout the 1980s, the vines are now managed organically (certification is due next year). The fermentations are entirely natural and Graillot Jr. uses only a small whole-bunch component, usually in the realm of 20-30%. It’s therefore a wine that tends to ‘come around’ earlier than the 100% whole-bunch wines that carry the Alain Graillot name. The 2017 was fermented in concrete vats and then racked into one-, two- and three-year-old Burgundy barrels purchased from some of the top Estates in Burgundy. There is also a tiny component (less than 10%) of new barrels that are purchased from the Atelier Centre France, whose bespoke steam-bent barrels are now used at Guiberteau, Didier Dagueneau and François Chidaine.

A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah, this is from a single plot of old vines called Arbousiers—the name referencing a native fruit tree that abounds in central France. Rather than having weighty tannins and high levels of extraction (as many old-vine Rhône blends seem to specialise in), this is a finely balanced wine with poise and finesse. At 320 metres, Réméjeanne is able to get perfectly ripened Grenache and Syrah, all the while retaining the sort of energy and acidity we seldom see in the southern Rhône these days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine la Remejeanne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43301392023790,"sku":"19765-750","price":29.96,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/7468\/3630\/products\/36509d17-dafc-ec11-ab3d-0ac90280dbea_19765-750.png?v=1658787038"},{"product_id":"pierre-gaillard-saint-joseph-blanc-2023","title":"Domaine Pierre Gaillard Saint-Joseph Blanc 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eEven in the Rhône, varietal Roussanne is a rare bird.

For those new to this wine, Marcoux's Châteauneuf is drawn from 13 parcels of vines, biodynamically farmed and dotted across the appellation. With a concentration on the famous Crau plateau, the parcels encompass a wide range of soil types, from the sandy soils of Charbonnières, to the red clay and galets in L'Arnesque and Les Bosquets, to the limestone and white clay in Les Esqueirons and Beaurenard, and finally the red clay and gravels of Les Galimardes, Les Serres and Les Plagnes in the south. This means Marcoux can produce a wine that truly reflects the Châteauneuf terroir as a whole. It also allows the Domaine to craft balanced wines year in, year out, as each parcel is vinified separately prior to the blending (and any parcels that do not fit the bill are typically declassified to Côtes du Rhône or sold to the négoce). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs is customary, the wines were naturally fermented and raised in concrete vat (up to 90%) and large oak, without any new oak.

From the first sip it sings of aromatic precision and caressing red fruit (ripe raspberry, silken berries, violets and wild strawberry).

It’s a barrel selection, so the winemaking is the same as the classic Crozes, although the chosen casks are left for a longer aging in both barrel and bottle. The Graillot’s are quick to point out that La Guiraude is not seen as necessarily a better wine than the Domaine’s Crozes, instead it is typically more powerful and can require longer cellaring. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2018 at this address was another low-yielding, warm year that, nonetheless, gifted superb quality. Good rains over the winter had replenished the soils and prepared the vines for the warm summer ahead. When expertly managed, Syrah can thrive in heat and sunshine and 2018 was the kind of vintage where the quality of the terroir (not to mention the skill of the grower) truly counted. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraillot’s flagship is packed with deep blue fruits, exotic spices, bloody minerality, anise, black olive and ironstone. The mouthfeel is slinky and supple, yet dense and strikes an exquisite balance between powerful fruit, plentiful tannins and perfectly pitched acidity. It’s a wine of quiet power: vin de Garde in the classic Graillot mould—a deep, dark, fleshy La Guiraude, with something of Cornas in the fruit spectrum. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough I agree with the note below that the wine will age, I find it to be drinking well already. It’s plump, hedonistic and immediately delicious. Strictly speaking, the only time required is to gather your finest friends and organise some appropriate food.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Alain Graillot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43302656377070,"sku":"20442-750","price":78.42,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/7468\/3630\/products\/de401f1a-8717-ed11-ab3d-024d026f405e_20442-750.png?v=1660281370"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bibendum.com.au\/collections\/rhone-valley.oembed?page=5","provider":"Bibendum Wine Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
