Notes from K & L:

"Michèle Aubéry-Laurent and her husband Philippe, bottled their first vintage of Domaine Gramenon in 1990, in the far northern-eastern stretches of the southern Rhône, in the town of Montbrison-sur-Lez. Today, she works twenty-six hectares with her talented son, Maxime François (a rising star in his own right), farming both young and very old vines alike. They employ organic and biodynamic practices in the vineyards, with a strong non-interventionist stance in the cellars.

The domaine bottles an AOC Vinsobres and a myriad of parcels of Côtes-du-Rhône located around the domaine. The Laurents use gravity-fed tanks and age their wines in oak demi-muids and foudres. emonstrates the lengths they will go to in order to highlight the freshness, purity, and intoxicating aromas of their small, rare production."
