"One of the finest Syrahs in the appellation!

"The Saint-Joseph Le Berceau 2022 presents aromas of ripe red fruits, cedar, leaves, pencil shavings and meat. Medium to full-bodied and structured, this is a stunning Saint-Joseph that strikes the perfect balance between substance, depth and elegance. With a savory, lingering finish, the 2022 ranks among the best Saint-Josephs of the vintage." (Vinous 2024)

Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

The Gripa family arrived in Saint-Péray in the 17th century, then settled in Mauves around 1850. An established name in the northern Rhône Valley, both for its Saint-Péray and Saint-Joseph wines (as witnessed by the numerous Favorites awards obtained in both appellations), the estate has been run since 2001 by Fabrice Gripa, Bernard's son, who now heads 18 ha of vines.

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (These great estates, often endowed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).

About the domain :

Fabrice Gripa continues his father's work at the only Mauves estate to produce as many whites as reds. And he masters his subject perfectly, delivering different cuvées with strong personalities. The whites are showcased in four cuvées: two Saint-Péray and two Saint-Joseph. The reds are close to the fruit, with straightforwardness and admirable ageing management. A consistent estate of excellent quality.
