2022 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.

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
