Our take on this vintage
The color is light gold, slightly cloudy. The nose is surprisingly typical of the Jura region, with notes of toasted sesame, firecrackers, and peat. The palate is slender and taut, driven by a delicate acidity enhanced by a light effervescence, while offering a fresh, velvety, enveloping texture with rich fruit that is subtly smoky and toasted. The balance is superb. The beautiful finish does not disappoint, with even more freshness and tension and a long, lingering finish of toasted sesame, praline, and smoky peat.
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.
