Poured at the Domaine by Vincent Ruiz, who has taken over the Estate and finished the bottling of this wine. The label was selected by Belluard’s wife, Valerie. After tasting through tank samples of the 2022 Gringets, it appears the Domaine (now called Domaine du Gringet) is in excellent hands. A beautiful site and a highly recommended visit. — a year ago
Stunning wine with a tragic story. One man’s vision to show case a disappearing grape is truly magical. Gringet from the Haute-Savoie as a single varietal bottling is so good so many layers, such beauty and subtlety. The still wine is pretty dynamic but this sparkling wine is just a, well a Pearl. Bottles be a friend after the winemakers tragic death this will be the last vintage of the wine. I can only hope someone takes up his mantle. — 2 years ago
Terrific perfume on the nose of flowers, green apple, gorgeous mineral and sea air. Very alpine but also some Rully thrown in. Palate is round and rich but very fresh and with great amplitude. Hay like green apple and rich minerality on a sapid palate staining finish that is very long and has nice finesse. Terrific bottle. — 2 months ago
A rare variety, Gringet, produced at a single vineyard in Savoie. The winegrower in question gave his life for this variety, effectively, and this is the last vintage he made, or so I was told. You can research the story online.
Good acid, orchard fruit aromas, stone fruit and citrus flavors, mineral finish. I’m glad I got a taste and let’s hope more will be made by a daring winemaker or winegrower. — 2 years ago
