Morocco is the second largest wine producer in the Arab world (behind Algeria), with production situated around Casablanca, Essaouira and Meknes.Alain Graillot left a career in agro-chemicals in 1985 to follow a dream with a rented parcel of vines, on the site of a former pig farm, on the Chassis plateau between Tain l'Hermitage and Pont l'Isère in the appellation of Crozes-Hermitage in the Northern Rhône. Today the Domaine has a reputation for being one of the leading Crozes-Hermitage growers and having trained many more vignerons who have taken Alain's expertise and winemaking philosophy to heart. That includes Alain's sons Antoine and Maxime who together have run the domaine somewhat interchangeably for the last couple of decades. Alain passed away in 2022 but Domaine Alain Graillot remains one of the most widely respected producers in the Rhône valley and their wines grace the lists of France's finest restaurants. The Graillot philosophy is as simple as it is successful – to produce appealing, sensibly-priced wines that people will want to drink.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-01T15:41:39-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-21T05:56:21-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Morocco","nini2102","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Alain Graillot","Region_Zeneta","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Syrah"],"price":31495,"price_min":31495,"price_max":31495,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42794039967882,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Alain Graillot | Tandem Syrah","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":31495,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/50_2929bdce-b3e5-42c1-b3a2-d3a6383eebf4.png?v=1676977030"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/50_2929bdce-b3e5-42c1-b3a2-d3a6383eebf4.png?v=1676977030","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Alain Graillot | Tandem Syrah at CaskCartel.com","id":24262239092874,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.465,"height":891,"width":414,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/50_2929bdce-b3e5-42c1-b3a2-d3a6383eebf4.png?v=1676977030"},"aspect_ratio":0.465,"height":891,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/50_2929bdce-b3e5-42c1-b3a2-d3a6383eebf4.png?v=1676977030","width":414}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2020 | Alain Graillot | Tandem Syrah\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sweet Smooth wine with strong flavors of blackberries and licorice.
