"Marsanne concentrate
"Made from 100% Marsanne and aged in 228-liter barrels with lees stirring, Saint Joseph Le Berceau Blanc 2023 reveals aromas of honeyed stone fruit, crushed stone and ripe citrus, with a lovely minerality. Clean, pure and balanced, with integrated acidity, medium body and impressive length on the palate, this magnificent white should be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years, although it will also evolve longer."

About the wine:
Aromas of honey and honeysuckle. Full-bodied, rich and powerful, with notes of roasted pineapple, custard and noble bitterness; very impressive. Notes of marzipan on the long finish. Hand-harvested Marsanne, old vines grown on granite. Fermented in 228-liter oak barrels, then aged on fine lees until the end of malolactic fermentation.

About the domain :
The Gripa family arrived in Saint-Péray in the 17th century, then settled in Mauves around 1850. An established name in the northern Rhône Valley, both for its Saint-Péray and Saint-Joseph wines (as witnessed by the numerous Favorites obtained in both appellations), the estate has been run since 2001 by Fabrice Gripa, Bernard's son, now at the head of 18 ha of vines.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 94/100
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Fabrice Gripa continues his father's work at the only Mauves estate to produce as many whites as reds. And he masters his subject perfectly, delivering different cuvées with strong personalities. The whites are showcased in four cuvées: two Saint-Péray and two Saint-Joseph. The reds are close to the fruit, with straightforwardness and admirable ageing management. A consistent estate of excellent quality.
