Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

The flagship old vine cuvée from this fabulous estate is the 2021 Saint Joseph Le Berceau, which comes from the lieu-dit Saint Joseph and the oldest vines of the estate. Ripe red and blackberries, ground pepper, tapenade, smoked meat, and spicy notes all emerge from the glass, and it's medium-bodied, deep, and concentrated on the palate, with ripe tannins and a gorgeous finish. It's clearly up with the crème de la crème of the appellation and one of the gems in the vintage. It's beautiful today yet will evolve nicely for a solid decade. It's beautifully made, and I'd be happy with bottles in the cellar.

About the Producer

About the Producer

Domaine Bernard Gripa, an iconic signature of the Northern Rhône Valley, is firmly rooted in Mauves, its village of origin. The adventure began in the 1970s, when Bernard Gripa decided to master the entire process, from vine to glass. Today, his son Fabrice continues this quest for excellence, infusing a personal approach that elevates the terroir. The vines flourish on granitic hillsides, giving rise to wines with a distinct minerality, often possessing great aging potential. The Saint-Joseph and Saint-Péray appellations are at the heart of production, explored in both red and white with equal mastery. The Saint-Joseph Le Berceau cuvée, sourced from old vines, is a flagship expression of the estate, in both red and white. We also highly regard the Saint-Péray Les Figuiers and Les Pins, as well as the Saint-Joseph Parady. Domaine Bernard Gripa wines are distinguished by their balance and finesse, offering remarkable interpretations of the Saint-Joseph appellation that are just waiting to be discovered. A beautiful family story that continues to make the wines of the Rhône Valley shine. Among the most sought-after cuvées are Domaine Bernard Gripa Saint-Joseph, Domaine Bernard Gripa Saint-Joseph Le Berceau, and Domaine Bernard Gripa Saint-Péray Les Figuiers—useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the estate.
