DOMAINE BERNARD GRIPA Saint Joseph Rouge 2019

Press Reviews

93WINE ADVOCATE

The base 2019 Saint Joseph is terrific stuff, and Id love to have case in the cellar. Medium to full-bodied, pure, and elegant, its not a blockbuster and leans on its purity, perfect balance, and silky tannins. All Syrah from steep, granite slopes around Mauves and Tournon that was partially destemmed and aged in a mix of barrels, it makes the most of this great vintage and can be enjoyed any time over the coming 10-15 years.

Reductive and closed aromatically, the 2017 Gigondas nevertheless has beautiful depth of fruit and richness on the palate, with medium to full body, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. A blend of 75% Grenache, 5% Mourvdre, and 20% Syrah, brought up in equal parts concrete tanks and demi-muids, my money is on it being an outstanding wine.
