Gripa 2021 Saint-Peray Les Figuiers

This little-known wine from Bernard and Fabrice Gripa is one of the most delicious and fascinating white wines of the Northern Rhône. From 50 to 60 yeal-old vines in Saint-Peray, on granite soils, 60% Roussanne and 40% Marsanne. The 2021 is a beautiful, well-structured wine. "fine yellow robe; the bouquet is assured in depth, reserved still, has a camomile tea, toasted nuts, peach tone, a hint of anis de Marseille, good opening to come. The palate is floral, elegant, has dainty acidity, with stylish gras that is centrally placed. It’s a balanced, high grade St-Péray, ends really trimly, great precision there. It’s extremely attractive..." In our experience, The Gripa "Les Figuiers" cellars beautifully - enjoy until 2041, but don't hesitate to drink now with full flavored seafood dishes, white meats, sushi, etc...
