About this Item
The vineyard spans 6.5 hectares and is home to thirty year-old vines, which grow in free-draining gravel soils. Situated southeast of the Graillot headquarters, known as Les Chenes Verts, Domaine des Lises crafts wines that capture the essence of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation.

Critics Ratings
‘Saturated ruby. High-pitched red berry and floral scents, along with notes of black pepper and minerals. Juicy and seamless on the palate, offering appealingly sweet black raspberry and violet pastille flavors and a touch of licorice. Finishes smooth and long, with subtle tannins and lingering smokiness.’ – Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 90/100 (Mar 2014)
‘The ripe black cherry and loganberry fruit is lined with a tangy iron streak. Shows a kiss of mocha on the finish, with more freshness than overt flesh. Drink now through 2014.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator (Oct 2013)
‘The more serious, round, ripe, richly fruity 2011 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine des Lises is more structured with some of the seductiveness of the Equinoxe traded for more bulk, tannin and density.’ - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (Dec 2012)
