50-80-year-old vines of Grenache, partially de-stemmed, and aged 8 months in neutral barrique.

Wines made from southern France's star, Grenache, often taste stony, full of garrigue, and, well, earthy. So it is something of a miracle that Domaine Gramenon has crafted a cuvée that proudly retains that essence of Grenache yet is still so ethereal. This Poignée de Raisins, meaning "handful of grapes,” accomplishes the elusive feat of boasting both soul and a soaring joie de vivre. It doesn’t get much more perfect than that.
