Description
La Paille is a dry white wine produced by Domaine du Gringet in Ayze, in the Savoie region of France. Made from Gringet grapes grown on a south-facing slope planted in the 1930s on white marl soil, this wine highlights the typicity of the terroir through uncertified biodynamic practices and organic farming pending certification.
The winemaking process involves slow pressing that lasts 4-7 hours, followed by static settling for 24 hours. Fermentation occurs spontaneously thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts. The wine matures for 9 months on the lees in egg-shaped concrete containers, followed by a further 10-month aging in the bottle before being marketed.
The bouquet offers notes of white fruit, fresh flowers, and slight mineral nuances. On the palate, it presents with good structure, decisive freshness, and long persistence, reflecting the influence of the white marls and the natural balance of the grape variety.
It pairs perfectly with fish-based dishes or soft cheeses.
