Few grape varieties are more earthbound than Grenache. Wines from this southern France star often read stony, scented with garrigue, and undeniably earthy—so it’s little short of miraculous that Domaine Gramenon has fashioned a cuvée that keeps Grenache’s soil-born soul while floating with surprising lightness.
Michèle Aubéry-Laurent and her son Maxime are rightly revered among the great vignerons of the Rhône and beyond. Their vineyards are planted mostly to Grenache and Syrah, yet rather than leaning into the region’s easier path of muscular, opulent reds, they coax wines that are lively, bright, and jubilant. The secret lies in rigorous organic and biodynamic farming and a restrained, natural approach in the cellar that lets the grapes speak with clarity.
“Poignée de Raisins” — a fistful of grapes — is that paradox made real: rustic, garrigue-tinged character wrapped in airy, exuberant energy. It’s at once soulful and exuberant, a wine that invites both contemplation and celebration.
