2022 Domaine Belema Imago

A refined expression of Gringet from the French Alps near Ayse, at the foothills of Mont Môle with views of Mont Blanc. This is the first wine-worthy vintage from young Gringet vines planted in 2018 by Yann on limestone scree and steep alpine terrain. The fruit is organically and biodynamically cultivated. Serve at 16-18°C with decanting recommended. Ageworthy with 5-10 year cellaring potential.
