A crowd-pleasing powerhouse from the Roussillon. This Syrah-Grenache offers inviting aromas of dark berries, violets, and a splash of spice. Plush, smooth, and easy to love, it’s the perfect red to enjoy with aged Gouda, chili, or baby back ribs.
Domaine Lafage Description
A custom cuvée for European Cellars and a joint project between Eric Solomon and Jean-Marc Lafage, Bastide Miraflors is a cuvée created from old vine Grenache grown on the schist and granite soils of Saint-Paul de Fenouillet, a terroir that always ripens late in the year, and Syrah from gravelly soils near the Mediterranean. After a long maceration of six weeks, the wine ages for 12 months in roughly 3/4 concrete vats and 1/4 600L French oak demi-muids.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
Elegantly peppery, the 2022 Côtes du Roussillon Bastide Miraflors evokes aromas of dark berries, spices, flowers and ripe cherries. Moderately weighted, round and supple, it's textured with structured tannins and a long, ethereal finish. There's no reason to wait.
