Tasting Notes for Domaine Houillon Gravières 2023 Natural Wine

This wine with slight carbonic fizz has notes of crushed strawberries and redcurrant jelly on the nose, giving a fresh fruit character. The palate, dominated by Carignan, is light, fluid, and intensely fruity, with juicy red berry flavours that are bright and approachable. Grenache contributes a subtle depth, mild spice and weight, giving the wine more balance and a smooth drinking texture that makes it thoroughly moreish. Overall, it is a vibrant, accessible natural Rhone wine with lively fruit and a charming, fresh finish. Very tasty!
