Why You'll Love It
Wines of the Côtes du Rhône have a stigma in the UK of being big, meaty bastards with big alcohol and sunshine. This wine is the antithesis of that. Soft and unoaked, bursting with blueberry fruit and baked plum, dusted with cinnamon and lifted by violets and lavender. The palate is gloriously juicy with smooth, chocolatey tannins and a touch of dried orange zest. Pure class in the glass - I'll have another thanks the very reasonable 12.5% ABV. If roast pork is on the menu, this wine is a dream pairing.
About The Producer
Frédéric Julien was Vice-President of the Cooperative Cellar of Rasteau before striking out alone in 2017, and everything about his wines suggests that was exactly the right call.

His domaine takes its name from Gramiller, a lieu-dit within the Rasteau AOC where a patchwork of soils gives the wines their distinct character. With 15 hectares spread across five sites, Frédéric has had twenty years of vine-growing to refine his thinking, and that thinking has always pointed in one direction: farm with nature, not against it. The estate has been organic from the outset, and the winemaking follows the same philosophy. Minimal SO2 at bottling for the estate wines; none at all for the Cuvées Natures.

The results speak for themselves. These are wines of real precision and purity, where the fruit does the talking and there's nothing in the way to muddy the message. If you've ever been sceptical about natural wine, the no-added-SO2 cuvées are the kind of thing that quietly dismantles those reservations. Frederic is the real deal.
Winemaking Information
The fruit is sourced from organically farmed vineyards around Rasteau in the southern Rhône. Each variety is vinified separately using gentle extraction to preserve freshness and aromatic purity before the final blend is assembled. Fermentation takes place in concrete and stainless steel, with no oak ageing, allowing the vibrant fruit to shine. Bottled with only a small addition of sulphur, Pruine is a beautifully pure expression of southern Rhône fruit, made with a light touch.
