Blend: 60% Roussanne and 40% Marsanne 
 
94 Points Decanter
Almond nougat on the nose, medium-bodied, with a soft, pillowy, rounded texture. Really defined and precise, but still quintessentially Saint-Péray - like the Saint-Pérays of 10 years ago before the hot, dry weather of the past few years. Long, gently tremulous finish, not hugely deep, but tender and delicious. Hand-harvested Marsanne and Roussanne grown on clay limestone soils. Fermented in barrel then left on fine lees until the malolactic is finished, with some stirring of the lees.
Winemaker Notes
This is Gripa’s top St-Péray made from vines averaging 60 years and aged in new to 5-year old barrels and demi-muids. It has an extra dimension of richness, fine greengage and peach aromas, and retains the appellation’s characteristic mineral print. For drinking now to 2030.
