The estate and the wine |

A hidden gem in the Northern Rhône Valley, Domaine Roland Grangier is one of our very favorite estate. Roland and Céline Grangier cultivate 8 hectares, primarily in Saint-Joseph and Condrieu, where they quietly produce captivating cuvées that are rich and refined. These wines consistently delight enthusiasts and are always offered at sensible prices. |

From the finest slopes of Chavanay and old vines, the 2022 red Saint-Joseph Côte Granits delivers beautiful aromas of black fruits and wild blackberry jam, with a ripe and concentrated profile. The palate confirms this richness, with 18 months of barrel aging still prominent, a fleshy texture, and present yet balanced tannins, accompanied by peppery, toasted, and licorice flavors. This wine deserves to be aged for at least a few years and will be enjoyed for 8 years or more. Decanting and a côte de bœuf are a must! Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee. |
