Gramiller Cotes du Rhone

Gloriously fruity, unoaked Cotes du Rhone. Overflowing with baked plums dusted with cinnamon, brown sugar, florals and a fine chalkiness too. There's an almost chocolatey element to it on the palate, yet it is so brilliantly fresh. Like the very best dark milk chocolate, with dried orange zest. The wine has an amazing finish and is extremely moreish. A perfect choice to wow friends or to have on your own!

Vigneron Frédéric Julien used to be Vice-President of the Cooperative Cellar of Rasteau and started his own Domaine in 2017 in the village of Vaucluse. The estate takes its name from a part of the AOC called Gramiller – a terroir of many soils where they have two and a half hectares of vines. With fifteen hectares of vines spread across five lieu-dits, a term used to describe a small geographical area with a traditional name.

Since his beginnings in vine growing some twenty years ago, Frédéric Julien has always been a big supporter of organic farming and a strong believer in the importance of farming with nature, rather than against it. Frédéric's wines are very precise, with as little external input as possible: just a minimal dose of SO2 at bottling for the estate’s wines. It’s all about the fruit, his wines would convince even the staunchest critic of natural wine.
