Description

Julien and his wife Nancy re-write the winemaking family history their own way, after his uncle Jean-louis Grippat retired in 1998. True lover of his native region Julien sets the bar very high in everything he does. Cornas Saint Pierre is a single vineyard at 300m above sea level and faces south. Julien farms using organic and biodynamic principles. Tasting on barrels every year, His Cornas always dominates the line up with its dark, rich profile – graphite to the core. Matured for 18 months in barrels, it evolves and integrates its oaky flavours within 6 months of bottling. A clear sign of understanding the vineyards and the winemaking. If you can resist, we recommend to wait 3 years in bottle to open it… If you can resist.
