Domaine Bernard Gripa - Saint-Joseph Le Berceau rouge 2024
91-93/100
Vinous
"One of the finest Syrah wines in the appellation!"
“Ground graphite, notes of freshly picked black plums, blackberries, and a delicate hint of wood smoke open the 2024 Saint-Joseph Le Berceau. Enveloped in ripe tannins, this medium- to full-bodied wine is a particularly compact Le Berceau, distinguished by its elegant austerity and superb overall freshness in this early stage. ” (Vinous 2026)

About the estate:
The Gripa family arrived in Saint-Péray in the 17th century, then settled in Mauves around 1850. A sure bet in the northern Rhône Valley, both for its Saint-Péray and Saint-Joseph wines (as evidenced by the numerous Favorites in both appellations), the estate has been run since 2001 by Fabrice Gripa, son of Bernard, who now manages 18 hectares of vineyards.

Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
Fabrice Gripa continues his father's work in the Mauves estate, which produces as many white wines as reds. He is a master of his craft, producing a range of wines with strong personalities. The whites are represented by four cuvées: two Saint-Péray and two Saint-Joseph. The reds are fruit-forward, with integrity and admirable aging. A consistent estate producing wines of very high quality.
