Domaine de la Bastide
Region, Country
Cotes du Rhone, France
Vinification
Built on a Roman Villae, The Domaine de la Bastide is an old fortified Templar's farm with more than a thousand years old know records. Partly destroyed during the French revolution, it has now come back to its original aim: wine making. The cellar was built in the late 70's. Total capacity of more that 7500 hectoliters. Fermentation is conducted in stainless steel vats of 200 hectoliters with controlled temperature. After fermentation the wine is drained into concrete vats coated with epoxy resins. Vincent and Stephanie Boyer are the second generation operating this winery. They are currently practicing organic viticulture and hope to be certified in the near future. The Domaine de la Bastide is located in the Rhone Valley, 50 km north of Avignon, in a little village called Visan. The vineyards are located in Visan and Suze-la-Rousse. Most of them are on stony dry soils, typical of the South Rhone Valley
Grape
45% Viognier, 40% Roussanne and 15% Clairette
Type

Tasting Notes
Bastide Cotes du Rhone Rouge is a beautiful, deep purple color with purplish and shiny reflections. The nose presents aromas of fresh red fruits, crushed strawberries and raspberries. On the palate we discover a very nice balance - a wine that is fresh, dense and round at the same time. It's a fruity wine with good length. 40% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 20% Carignan, and 15% Mourvedre from 25 year old vines. The grapes are fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit purity of the wine.
Pairing
Pairs with lamb, pizza, asian dishes, pasta, red meats, grilled chicken, all types of cheese.
