The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine The Domaine Roland Grangier is one of our favorite addresses in the Northern Rhône Valley. Roland and Céline Grangier cultivate 8 hectares of land, mainly in Saint-Joseph and Condrieu, and discreetly produce wines that are full-bodied and delicate to the delight of wine lovers everywhere, always at reasonable prices.
Wine From the best slopes of Chavanay, the 2021 red Saint-Joseph Côte Granits delivers beautiful aromas of black fruits, notably wild blackberry, with smoky touches that indicate the presence of the barrel aging, that are never dominant or insistent. The palate follows the same pattern, with elegance and restraint: we find the spirit of Saint-Joseph, with a full-bodied texture, present tannins without excess, and above all, a beautiful freshness. A wine worth waiting for, at least until the delicate end of the year, and which will be appreciated over 5 years and more.
Vinification Hand harvested, totally de-stemmed, vatted for 3 weeks in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks, regular pumping over, aged for 18 months in oak barrels.
