The Cradle 2018 - B. Gripa

The Saint-Joseph Blanc “Le Berceau” is the emblematic cuvée of Domaine Bernard Gripa , located in Mauves , the historical heart of the appellation.
Made from old Marsanne and Roussanne vines planted on granite soils, this wine expresses the quintessence of the northern Rhône terroir in an interpretation that is rich, fine and luminous.
The 2018 vintage, sunny but balanced, offers a full and elegant wine, carried by a beautiful mineral tension.

Complex nose of white flowers , fresh almond , acacia honey , ripe apricot and wet stone .
On the palate, the wine displays a silky and concentrated texture, supported by a mineral and slightly saline structure.
The finish, long and persistent, evokes dried fruit and citrus zest .
