Domaine de Fa
The Graillot family has established a reputation in Northern Rhône for producing exquiste Syrah since 1985. In 2011, Maxime Graillot, owner and winemaker for both Domaine des Lises and Alain Graillot, and his brother Antoine, expanded their winemaking horizons to Beaujolais where they purchased 5 ha of declassified parcels on the Côte de Besset in Saint-Amour and 3 ha in Fleurie. The domaine is located at Alain Graillot’s mother’s house in Tournon-sur-Rhône between Burgundy and Lyon and takes its name from the farm where Madame Graillot grew up.
