Up until 2003, he was the chef and owner of L'Isle Sonnant, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Avignon. But when his grandfather passed away, leaving behind a microscopic 3.5-hectare plot of old vines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Jérôme sold his restaurant and completely shifted gears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eHe taught himself to make wine using the exact same philosophy he used in his kitchen: pristine ingredients and zero manipulation. He ferments whole-clusters in old concrete tanks using native yeasts, and ages the wine in older barrels. The result is a profoundly traditional, savory, and rustic Châteauneuf-du-Pape that French critics have actively compared to untouchable, $500+ legends like Château Rayas and Henri Bonneau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"4\"\u003e2020 vintage\u003c\/b\u003e is hitting its stride beautifully. The catch? Because his estate is so tiny, hardly any of this makes it to the US. While bottles of those benchmark traditional estates will easily set you back half a grand, we negotiated a phenomenal deal on a small parcel of Gradassi. Today, you are getting that same traditional, savory magic for just \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"356\"\u003e$45\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Jerme Gradassi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48099292479745,"sku":"4100488","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/8085\/9649\/files\/4100488.png?v=1771649753","url":"https:\/\/winekey.com\/products\/2020-domaine-jerme-gradassi-chateauneuf-du-pape-southern-rhone-france-750ml","provider":"WineKey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
