2022 Côtes-du-Rhône “La Papesse”
Domaine Gramenon
Gramenon’s cuvées, a product of biodynamic farming and careful natural winemaking, demonstrate the purity and finesse old-vine Grenache can achieve from the southern Rhône's most exciting terroirs. La Papesse is crafted from sixty-year-old vines high on a rocky plateau in the commune of Vinsobres, where elevation and abundant limestone combine to give taut, high-toned wines with delicate floral aromas and stimulating mineral freshness.
