"Domaine Barge has decided to label their cuvĂŠe from their newly reclaimed vineyard of Le Combard as âCoeur de Combardâ in vintages that they deem âexceptionalâ, as is the case with the 2013. The wine was showing even better at the domaine than when I last tasted it ten months ago in New York, offering up a deep and very precise bouquet of cassis, black olives, espresso, venison, stony soil tones and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full and rock solid at the core, with impressive complexity, fine-grained ripe tannins and outstanding soil signature on the very long, perfectly balanced finish. This is very old school in style, coming in at only 12.5 percent alcohol and offering the potential for great evolution in the bottle. This is going to be the finest vintage yet from the reclaimed Le Combard vineyard, since the Barge family first start bottling it again in 2007."

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.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The northern Rhone's most prestigious red appellation, producing perfumed, elegant Syrah, often co-fermented with a little Viognier, from steep terraced slopes.
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.
