"Made by Laurent Vaille and sporting a semi-opaque ruby color, the 2010 Languedoc Grange des Peres is comprised of 40% Syrah, 40% Mourvedre and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon thatâs aged all in 228-liter barrels. An elegant, lively and complex wine, it offers ample currant and assorted dark fruits, leafy herbs, spice and hints of minerality that flow to a medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured 2010 that has nothing out of place, notable acidity and a core of sweet fruit. Fleshing out beautifully in the glass, itâs surprisingly approachable, so donât be afraid to open bottles anytime soon (decant), yet I suspect it will evolve gracefully for upwards of 12-15 years given the overall balance and harmony."

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.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
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.
