"A superb Saint-Joseph de terroir".
"Very fresh aromas of blackberry and raspberry. Soft and silky style, very juicy, with good acidity and a freshness that makes it ready to enjoy. A rather delicate but correct and classic expression of St. Joseph, with very fine tannins." (Decanter 2024)

Expert opinion
Decanter
Vin noté (guide 2024) 92/100
About the wine :
Very fresh aromas of blackberry and raspberry. Silky-smooth, very juicy style, with good acidity and a freshness that makes it ready to enjoy. A rather delicate but correct and classic expression of St. Joseph, with very fine tannins.

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 obtained in both appellations), the estate has been run since 2001 by Fabrice Gripa, Bernard's son, now at the head of 18 ha of vines.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Graded area (2024 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning connoisseurs.)
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.
