Domaine Gramenon Cotes du Rhone La Sagesse 2021

Translates to 'the wise one' and is produced from 2 parcels of 60 year old vines on the Gramenon 'estate' at Montbrison sur Lez. This is a very beautiful wine as always and one of my personal favorite wines from anywhere - this takes Grenache to extraordinary levels of refinement and Burgundian levels of attraction and elegance. It is always a little Chambolle-esque with it's silken mouthfeel and sensual lingering fragrance. If any one wine displays the all the qualities that are unique to Gramenon, it is this one. Emotion!

Importer's notes.

Old vine Grenache showing gorgeous dried cranberry, violets and dark spice aromas. Densely packed with great flavour intensity in a medium body. Grenache that achieves finesse and is full of drinking pleasure. Will develop and evolve complexity in the cellar.
