Domaine La Bastide - Syrah Vieilles Vignes Les Genêts 2013
Languedoc
Red
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
This cuvée of old Syrah vines is a veritable bath of sunshine. Ripe black fruit aromas and smoky notes dance in the glass. On the palate, there's fruitiness and a silky texture spiced with lovely acidity. The finish is subtly mineral and the length flattering. A fine discovery!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
To the northwest of Lézignan-Corbières, a vast estate (180 ha) focused on exports, acquired in 1987 by Anne-Marie and Guilhem Durand. A first in Languedoc-Roussillon. In 2015, it was the first in Languedoc to pass into the hands of a Chinese group, the importer BHC International Wine Assets Management. Close to the Minervois region, the vineyard is set on an ancient terrace of the Aude, rich in rolled pebbles.

Bof, bof, bof... As someone who loves syrah, I'm frankly disappointed. There's not much strength and not too many different notes. A forgettable wine as it is.
