Saint Bart, Vielles Vignes

Saint Bart, Vielles Vignes

Côtes du Roussillon Villages, Saint Bart               

Equal parts Carignan, Syrah, and Grenache

From a parcel of 100 year old Carignan and high elevation Syrah planted in Granite. Named after a chapel nearby to the old-vine parcel of Carignan.

“Clot de L’Oum’s 2006 Cotes du Roussillon Villages Saint-Bart Vieilles Vignes offers a nose of strawberry, black raspberry, and bitter-sweet, iris-like floral notes. Suggesting ripe but tart-edged fruit tinged with iodine and suffused with crushed stone, this offers a lot of lift and refreshment if not enormous grip on the mid-palate, and subtle meat and mineral shadings in the long if understated finish. It will be quite versatile at table, and should grow in interest, and be worth following for 3-4 years.”
