Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot La Grenache 8 Cotes Du Brian 2023

The 2023 Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot "La Grenache 8" (classified under the IGP Côtes du Brian, noting the slight spelling correction from "Brain") is a 100% Grenache cuvée that applies traditional Burgundian vinification techniques to Southern French terroir. Sourced from 30-year-old vines cultivated on the marly limestone and sandstone soils of the Les Fontanilles sector, the grapes are hand-harvested and fully destemmed prior to fermentation. The wine is aged exclusively in stainless steel vats, intentionally avoiding oak influence to preserve the purity and primary characteristics of the fruit. This process yields a structurally refined profile driven by crisp red berry notes, balanced acidity, and the natural sweetness inherent to the varietal, resulting in a fresh, fruit-forward expression of Languedoc Grenache.
