Côtes du Rhône L'émouvante Gramenon (Domaine) 2017
The wine
L'Emouvante comes from a terroir at altitude near Gramenon, an area that has particularly rich soils of silica and sand. Old, biodynamically-grown Syrah vines were harvested by hand, macerated extensively, and matured in barrels. This cuvée can be enjoyed in its youth for the purity of its fruit, its elegance and its depth.
About the Producer Gramenon
Domaine Gramenon was created in 1979 on the slopes of Montbrision-su-Lez in the southern Rhône. Its founders Phillipe Laurent and Michèle Aubéry started with 12 hectares but have gradually expanded to 26 hectares; They cultivate Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Viognier and Clairette. They benefit from a limestone rich terroir and an altitude that confers great freshness to the wines. Following Philippe's death in 1999, Michèle took over the whole business with the help of his son Maxime François Laurent. Convinced that good grapes make good wine, the father son duo practice biodynamic viticulture. Yields are controlled and the soil is ploughed. The wines are sought after for their freshness and brightness. Certain cuvées can be drunk young while others need a few years in the cellar.
