“This crazy-delicious wine”Tamlyn Currin – JancisRobinson.com.
It’s all about the fruit! This no added SO2 bottling is a blend of Alicante and Grenache. Positively summer pudding in a glass! Explosive fruit – berries and cherries and floral notes too, hints of orange zest and violets and tea soaked fruit. Don’t be fooled by the wine’s deep purple colour, it’s juicy, fresh, with just a hint of herbs and light tannins.

Vigneron Frdric Julien used to be Vice-President of the Cooperative Cellar of Rasteau and started his own domaine in 2017 in the village of Vaucluse.The estate takes its name from a part of the AOC called Gramiller a terroir of many soils where they have 2.5 ha of vines. With 15 ha of vines spread across five lieu-dits, since his beginnings in vine growing some twenty years ago, Frdric Julien has always been a big supporter of organic farming and a strong believer in the importance of farming with nature, rather than against it. Frdric’s wines are very precise, with as little external input as possible: just a minimal dose of SO2 at bottling for the estates wines and nothing at all for the Cuves Natures. Its all about the fruit! His no added SO2 cuvees are a masterclass in purity and consistency, and would convince even the most staunch critic of natural wine.
