Jean-Francois Malsert Grassot VDF Rouge
| Availability: | In stock (2) |
Gamay, Syrah
Northern Rhône, France
The grandson of a local grape grower, Jean-François Malsert launched 7ha Domaine de L’Iserand in 2017. However, the journey to become a vigneron goes back many years to his time as the owner of the once popular wine bar Carafes en Folie in Tournon-sur-Rhône. Though he avoids the spotlight, Malsert has earned quiet acclaim among Northern Rhône aficionados. Authentic, restrained, and rooted in real farming, the wines of Domaine de L’Iserand are for those seeking elegance over extraction, freshness over flash, and terroir over technique. The Grassot VDF is a 50/50 split of Gamay and Syrah, with mostly whole cluster maceration, before each varietal undergoes separate aging in amphora for 7 months before blending and bottling.
