Domaine Grier - Grenache Carignan 2015
3*Étoile
Hachette
“This rosé made from Grenache (70%) and Carignan made a strong impression. With an appealing color featuring gray-pink highlights, it reveals a complex, elegant, and powerful nose of pear, mirabelle plum, apple, and peach... This complexity is extended by a palate full of confidence and balance: plenty of body, a soft and tender texture, and remarkable freshness reminiscent of the high-altitude terroirs that gave birth to this wine with its strong personality. It was voted a favorite.” (Le Guide Hachette des Rosés 2016–2017)

About the wine:
This rosé, made from Grenache (70%) and Carignan, made a strong impression. With an attractive gray-pink hue, it reveals a complex, elegant, and powerful nose of pear, mirabelle plum, apple, and peach... This complexity is extended by a palate full of confidence and balance: plenty of body, a soft and tender texture, and remarkable freshness reminiscent of the high-altitude terroirs where this wine with its strong personality was born. It was voted the favorite by a show of hands.
About the estate:
The Grier family, owners of a vineyard in South Africa renowned for its sparkling wines, established this 25-hectare estate—comprising a single contiguous plot—in the Fenouillèdes region in 2006. They entrusted its management to Raphël Graugnard, who brings his extensive experience to crafting wines that embody the successful union of the Old and New Worlds.
