"In 2007, wine importer Dan Kravitz purchased this 13.5-acre domaine, with grenache vines dating back 60 years. Today he farms 18 acres, and works with the local cooperative to vinify his wines: Serge Soulatge takes care of the vines, and Nicolas Burger makes the wines. This 2014 blends 60 percent old-vine grenache with new- and old-vine carignan and syrah. It has a lovely transparency to its flavors, the richness of the plummy fruit balanced by fine, ferrous tannins and soft, dark earth. Entirely pretention-free, this is ready to drink now but also capable of aging in the cellar for another five to eight years." Wine & Spirits Magazine, Jun 2016 |
