DOMAINE GRAMENON - Poignée de raisins 2020
Domaine Gramenon was created in 1978 and is located in Montbrison-Sur-Lez in Drôme Provençale, at the bottom of the first pre-Alps foothills. The domain stands at a 350-metres altitude in the most northern part of the southern Côtes du Rhône area. It is managed by Michèle Aubery and her son Maxime François Laurent. The originality of the terroir inGramenon comes from the limestone barrier (tidal system) formerly covered by the sea (86 million years ago). Each wine plant planted comes from the massal selection of the vineyard. The vineyard has been cultivated since its creation in 1978 in a natural and organic way but officially obtained the biodynamic Demeter certification in 2010.
Poignée de Raisins is made from young Grenache vines. The harvest is partially destemmed and the maceration lasts 15 days in a cement tank. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, then the wine is very slightly sulphited after the malolactic fermentation. Aging lasts 6 months in tanks.
Grape variety: 100% Grenache
