James Suckling
"A superb Saint-Joseph de terroir".
"The Saint-Joseph 2022 presents nuances of ripe red plum, crushed violets, graphite and licorice. Medium-bodied and full of energy, the 2022 hits the palate with excellent concentration. Framed by ripe but perfectly polished tannins, this is a magnificent St.-Joseph with assured aging potential." (Vinous 2024)

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
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.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
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.
