Domaine Gramenon Côtes du Rhône Villages 'Il Fait Soif' 2016 clairette Unusually for a roseProduced from 40 year old vines from a 5ha property purchased in 2007 in Valreas and farmed bio dynamically (as at the estate) This is deep, lush and incredibly impressive with beguiling scents, carnal richness and an incredibly silken finish.
