"A step up from the l'Infidele (in price as well), the 2012 Terrasses du Larzac Les Combariolles is made from 40% Syrah, 40% Mourvèdre, 15% Carignan and small splash of Grenache. Brought up all in 500-600-liter demi-muids (25% new), it has a modern ting to its crème de cassis, blackberry, crushed flowers, spice and creamy vanilla aromatics. This is followed by a full-bodied, seamless 2012 that has superb mid-palate depth, fine tannin and a blockbuster finish. Itâs superb on all accounts, and should have a decade or more of overall longevity."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
