2024 Côtes-du-Rhône “La Sagesse”
Domaine Gramenon
Tasting this incredibly silky and lithe red from the famed Gramenon family, I couldn’t help but wonder how La Sagesse carries the full flavor, succulence, and savoriness we associate with Grenache on such a graceful and lively frame. Biodynamic farming and 70-year-old vines are no doubt two factors behind the finesse on display, but it also might just come down to the fact that vigneronne Michèle Aubéry-Laurent is one of the genius growers of her generation.
