"The delicacy of Marsanne and Roussanne"
"Composed of 70% Marsanne and 30% Roussanne, the 2023 Saint Joseph Blanc offers aromas of stone fruit, brioche, honeyed orange zest, and sappy flowers. Medium-bodied and elegant on the palate, it has integrated acidity and impressive length. (Jeb Dunnuck 2025)

Wine rated (2024 guide) 93/100
About wine:
Subtle notes of quince, pear, and hazelnuts. Beautiful richness on the palate, which is powerful and presents noble notes of bitterness. Full-bodied yet fresh, with good acidity and a mineral finish.

Rated estate (2024 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the estate:
The Gripa family arrived in Saint-Péray in the 17th century, then settled in Mauves around 1850. A sure bet in the northern Rhône Valley, both for its Saint-Péray and Saint-Joseph wines (as evidenced by the numerous Favorites in both appellations), the estate has been run since 2001 by Fabrice Gripa, son of Bernard, who now manages 18 hectares of vineyards.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100
Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the estate:
Fabrice Gripa continues his father's work in the Mauves estate, which produces as many white wines as reds. He is a master of his craft, producing a range of wines with strong personalities. The whites are represented by four cuvées: two Saint-Péray and two Saint-Joseph. The reds are fruit-forward, with integrity and admirable aging. A consistent estate producing wines of very high quality.

About wine:
Precise on the nose. Notes of apple and pear. Smooth fruit on the palate. Just enough structure to bring freshness. Ready to drink now, but will likely improve with another year in the bottle.

About wine:
The 2023 Saint-Joseph Blanc has an alcohol content of only 13% and reveals lively aromas of lemon flesh, jasmine, pear, and honeysuckle. Juicy and refreshing, the delicate 2023 has a lively energy and finishes with good length and a savory finish.

About wine:
Composed of 70% Marsanne and 30% Roussanne, the 2023 Saint Joseph Blanc offers aromas of stone fruit, brioche, honeyed orange zest, and sappy flowers. Medium-bodied and elegant on the palate, it has integrated acidity and impressive length. Aged in a combination of temperature-controlled vats (20%) and oak barrels (80%), enjoy these bottles over the next 4 to 6 years. Best enjoyed between 2025 and 2031.
