Technical Sheet |
What makes Bertrand Machard de Gramont’s wines so thrilling is that their vineyards are all on extremely poor, mostly high altitude sites, so it was no surprise that 2021 was a challenging vintage for them. They lost around half of their crop to an unholy trinity of frost, mildew and botrytis, with Axelle explaining that the date of harvest was a thorny question because of the slow ripening presenting an unenviable choice between harvesting healthy but perhaps not perfectly ripe fruit or waiting for ripeness along with a high risk of rot. As a result, she believes that many growers will have picked before their grapes were physiologically ripe, even if they wouldn’t admit as much. The 2021 vintage plays to the style
of wine the Domaine are trying to produce, with more purity and freshness, and recent tastings with young sommeliers have shown that there is an appetite amongst the younger
professionals for wines with finesse rather than brawn – this is their year!

15 ares, 0.15 hectares, at the top of the hill above premier cru Cros Parentoux and opposite aux Brulées, south east facing and very stony; replanted on purchase in 2002 and just 450 bottles made this year. Deep red black with a nose of marked, racy blackcurrant fruit, fresh and bright, rich and deep with dark fruits and flowers, even liquorice, leading to a similar palate with notes of blackcurrant bud, rich and intense, perfumed berried fruit, musky and gorgeously long and toasty on the finish. Supreme - but scarce. Drink 2026 - 2031
