Domaine Lafage – Bastide Miraflors Vieilles Vignes Syrah-Grenache 2016 (750ml)

A custom cuve for European Cellars and a joint project between Eric Solomon and Jean-Marc Lafage, Bastide Miraflors is a cuve created from Grenache grown on rocky, alluvial clay soils resembling those of the Rhne Valley combined with Syrah grown on schist in the village of Maury. After a long maceration of six weeks the wine ages for 12 months in concrete (Grenache) and 600L French oak demi-muids (Syrah).

Critical Acclaim

94 points Jeb Dunnuck

The 2016 Lafage Bastide Miraflors Vieilles Vignes is one of the top red wine values in the world! 94 points from Jeb Dunnuck, less than $15/bottle, and Mr. Dunnuck has compared this one to Sine Qua Non. Not familiar with Sine Qua Non? Theres a good reason for that, as theres an 8 year waiting list to get on their mailing list, and their wines would run you $150+. No waiting on this one though, and as good as the 2015 was, Jeb called the 2016 the finest vintage for this cuve to date (its in the same league as the off-the-charts 2015).
