Long description

At the heart of the Saint-Joseph appellation, in Mauves, Domaine Bernard Gripa has been crafting intense, essential wines for nearly fifty years. Under the leadership of Bernard and then his son Fabrice, the Saint-Joseph and Saint-Péray cuvées have become benchmarks.

Descended from a line of winemakers dating back to the 17th century, the Gripas have played a major role in the revival of both appellations. As early as the 1970s, they took the rare step of vinifying directly at the wine estate, thus marking their commitment to quality. Another remarkable aspect: the wine estate produces as many whites as reds, a rarity in this Syrah-dominated region.

On the steep slopes of Saint-Péray, the marsanne and roussanne vines thrive on an exceptional limestone terroir. No mechanization here, but absolute respect for the terroir and its identity. In Saint-Joseph, granite reigns supreme, giving the wines a unique singularity. The plots, located in the historic heart of the appellation, between Mauves and Tournon, benefit from meticulous tillage and the age-old practice of organic composting.

Under the guidance of Fabrice Gripa, successor to his father Bernard, each parcel is pampered on the region's famous granite soils. Unique in its kind, the wine estate produces as many whites as reds, offering a rich and diverse sensory palette. Marsanne and Roussanne grapes for the whites, and Syrah for the reds, flourish on the prestigious terroirs of Saint-Joseph and Saint-Péray.

The vines, planted on steep, terraced slopes, require meticulous manual labor. With absolute respect for nature, every gesture is carried out with care and attention according to the principles of integrated viticulture. Localized treatments, organic composts and particular attention to detail foster a flourishing biodiversity between the rows.
