Grippat
Grippat produces wines from Hermitage and Saint-Joseph, two of the Northern Rhône's most prestigious appellations. The winery's Saint Joseph Blanc, a blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, captures the white wine character of the region—mineral, structured, and age-worthy. Its Hermitage, made from Chardonnay, represents a distinctive expression within the appellation's traditionally Syrah-focused landscape. The Saint-Joseph red, built on Syrah, follows the Northern Rhône model of elegant, peppery intensity. Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have both assessed the winery's portfolio. These wines reflect the terroir of steep granite slopes and continental climate that define the Northern Rhône, where small yields and meticulous viticulture yield concentrated, complex expressions.
