Organic. 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre/Cinsault. Produced from vineyards in the communes of Violes and Sablet, close to Gigondas. Soils are old stony red clay alluvium. Old vines (40 years on average) with very low yields (36hl/ha). Traditional, slow fermentation and aging for 8 months in concrete tanks. Jean Francois Gras, produced by Domaine Saint François Xavier, was created in the early 20th century by François Xavier Lambert in Gigondas at the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Today, the domaine is run by the Gras family, and it is only recently that Jean-François and Christian Gras decided to bottle their own wines.
