About the wine:
When a Burgundian becomes a Southerner by understanding the specificity of Mediterranean wines and betting on the blending of grape varieties and terroirs (sandstone and gravelly terraces for these Syrah and Grenache), the results are not long in coming. And so, for this third vintage in the appellation, Bruno Lafon and Sylvie Legros make a remarkable entrance with an intense wine, powerful in its almost black purple color. The aromatic palette reflects the surrounding garrigue, complemented by cherry brandy. On the palate, it combines concentration and freshness, roundness and well-crafted tannins. If it can be served now with prime rib, it's still a wine in the making that can be kept until 2014 or 2015.
About the domain :
