Domaine de la Grange des Pères
Vin de Pays de l'Hérault Red Rhone Blend
Spotted on a wine list for well below retail—in Las Vegas of all places! Had to pull the trigger and it didn’t disappoint. No detailed notes but it was gorgeous with tons of complexity and character. Lucky find in a sea of overpriced trophy cabs

Oct 18th, 2024Very evolved color and nose -- I'd guess 10+ years older than it is. On the palate this is well into secondary stage, with Burgundian notes of cherries, cranberries, and cedar, but then some cigar and a hint of VA too. Mid-weight, very elegant and extremely well balanced. Long finish. This is in a great spot now but it's time to drink up

May 12th, 2017This is magnificent, probably will evolve nicely for years.

Feb 22nd, 2018Smells like prunes, covered fruit, earthy back notes of wet dirt. Spicy tannic, not astringent as others. A sweet finish.

Another 🦄 from the Herault Valley. 4 grape blend that has achieved cult status. Fresh, juicy with a big body. Balanced with resolved tannins. Almost sweet in the right way. Very well made and perfect with stewed Guinea Hen. 41/2*
