The grapes had gone to the local cooperative; in 2005 he founded Domaine de la Graveirette and began making his own wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe farms biodynamically around Bédarrides and Courthézon. The parcels include sandy ground, alluvial soils and stony terraces. Alongside Rhône appellation wines, his Vin de France bottlings make room for varieties such as Merlot, Marselan and Viognier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePuy de Safre explores another part of La Crau, where sand and clay overlie safre, the local sandy subsoil. This gives the wine a distinct starting point within an appellation often pictured only through its large rounded stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cuvée comes from old Grenache, with vines around a century in age. Julien bottles this parcel separately, keeping its identity alongside Font de Crau and the estate’s broader Châteauneuf-du-Pape blend. Biodynamic work runs through the domaine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePuy de Safre 2017 is entirely Grenache, allowing one grape and one parcel to carry the wine. Its appeal lies in the breadth and detail of old-vine fruit, handled with a measured touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cuvée includes a proportion of whole bunches and spends an extended period in stainless steel. Pour carefully and give it air in the glass. Serve with roast poultry, mushrooms or lamb, keeping the bottle a little cooler than a warm room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de la Graveirette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59295203721590,"sku":"GR7917RA","price":93.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/2556\/0124\/files\/WF-puy-safre-label-lighting-nov10.png?v=1794310753","url":"https:\/\/winefreedom.co.uk\/products\/chateauneuf-du-pape-puy-de-safre-2017","provider":"Wine Freedom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
