The estate and the wine |
|
|
A leading figure in Saint-Joseph, with 2 stars in the RVF Guide, Bernard Gripa's estate is inseparable from the appellation's success, and played a key role in its revival in the 1970s. Today, Fabrice Gripa produces sincere, deep wines of impeccable consistency, whose unique minerality has become their signature. |

|
The 2022 red Saint-Joseph exudes beautiful Syrah maturity, with notes of black fruit, tapenade and cocoa. The palate is full-bodied and slightly spicy, with hints of violets and balsamic. It's an expressive, fleshy wine, of fine dimension, carried by its density and firm tannins without harshness. A fine bottle that will keep well for another decade. Rated 93/100 by Olivier Poussier, World's Best Sommelier and member of the Comité de Vente à la Propriété. |
