La Grapp'A
Heading South 2024
French wine | Red | 2024
An experiment in blending multiple grape varieties, a meeting of the Jura and the South
. Here, no fewer than eight grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Trousseau, Ploussard, Chardonnay, and Savagnin from the Jura, and Carignan, Grenache, and Clairette from the South.
The result is really nice. You should open the wine a little in advance to let it breathe. It’s a wine with rich red and black fruit flavors and garrigue spices, yet it’s supple, smooth, and full-bodied. In fact, aging in stainless steel tanks plays a major role in giving it that suppleness.
Note that the wine is unfiltered :)

Our take on this vintage
A wine with rich red and black fruit flavors and hints of garrigue spices, yet supple, smooth, and full-bodied.
La Grapp'A
Languedoc | France
In Auvergne, La Grapp’A produces wines made primarily from Gamay grapes grown on basalt soils. The reds exhibit lively black fruit, subtle tension, and a slightly smoky character typical of the region. The gentle winemaking process yields elegant wines, sometimes almost infusion-like in character. This is a charming, accessible estate that does justice to Auvergne’s volcanic renaissance.
