Domaine des Gravennes Côtes du Rhône
Grenache, Syrah
The nose reveals aromas of red fruits, jam, and sweet spices. The mouth is generous with toasty aromas, black pepper, cherry jam, and red fruits. The syrah brings a nice tannin structure to the wine. The finish is long and elegant.
ABOUT THE ESTATE
The story begins in the heart of the Rhone Valley, in Suze la Rousse, at the beginning of the XXth century. Alphonse PRADELLE plants his first vines on his land. In the 60s, his son Raphaël and his wife Marie-Louise give a new start to the estate. Back then, and without knowing it, they were already conducting their vineyard according to organic and biodynamic principles. In 1996, their daughter Bernadette Bayon de Noyer comes back to the estate and creates the Domaine des Gravennes. Her husband joins her five years later, and together they will replant vines and invest to modernize the winery. It is now the turn of the fourth generation to take over. In 2011, Luc is the first one to come back home, after having previously gained experience over four continents. Four years later, his elder brother Rémi will leave his career in engineering to follow his passion and join him in the vineyard.
