La Meme, 2024

Grenache from vines planted over a hundred years ago, right outside a mother-and-son family's front door in the southern Rhone. Their top bottle.

Grenache from two tiny plots planted more than a century ago beside Domaine Gramenon's house in the southern Rhone. The family farms biodynamically and puts the bunches in whole, stems and all. Strawberry and raspberry, flowers, a little spice and liquorice, with a peppery edge. It feels silky and fine, with a fresh, long finish. Young now, and built to keep for a decade.
