Jerome Gradassi Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2016

Founded in 2004, Jerome Gradassi’s 3.25 hectares of Grenache were once owned by his grandfather; here, Gradassi taught himself how to make wine, implementing slow, whole bunch fermentations in concrete, exclusively with native yeasts and minimal sulfur. Juice is then aged for 10 months in older barrels, creating a dry, savory wine, full of juicy dark fruit, garrigue, and spice notes. Pair with game, red meat, or burgers on the grill.
