That chef is Jérôme Gradassi, and he brings a cook's ingredient-first obsession to the old Grenache and Mourvèdre vines his grandfather planted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHis methods border on monastic: no pumps, no machines, no additives. Whole clusters ferment on wild yeasts in ancient tiled concrete tanks, punched down by hand. When fermentation ends, he empties the tanks the only way he can, by hand, with a bucket and a rope, a job that takes a week. The wine then rests untouched in old, neutral barrels until bottling. It is the polar opposite of the heavy, syrupy style that has overtaken so much modern Châteauneuf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe stellar 2015 vintage gave Gradassi a powerful core of dark fruit, and nearly a decade in bottle has softened its grip: it is savory, elegant, and squarely in its drinking prime today. Traditional, hand-made Châteauneuf is nearly extinct, and from a vintage like 2015 it almost never surfaces. There isn't much. Don't wait.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Jerme Gradassi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49516576899329,"sku":"2582062","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/8085\/9649\/files\/2582062.png?v=1783205283","url":"https:\/\/winekey.com\/products\/2015-domaine-jerme-gradassi-chateauneuf-du-pape-southern-rhone-france-750ml","provider":"WineKey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
