“This is excellent. Ripe, quite potent, with great freshness, length and fine tannins. This will age well. Thierry Faravel’s vineyards are up high among the limestone peaks of the Dentelles de Montmirail at around 350m. The altitude helps retain aromatic freshness, and the northwest-facing orientation further contributes to its vivacity.”
95 Points, Matt Walls, Decanter
“Saturated ruby-red. The highly expressive bouquet conveys vibrant, mineral- and spice-accented red and blue fruits, candied flowers and succulent herbs aromas. Gently chewy and incisive boysenberry, bitter cherry and fresh bay flavors deepen and become sweeter with air. The floral note recurs on a very long, mineral finish that’s framed by subtly gripping, fine-grained tannins. Made with 39% whole clusters and raised in a 65/35 mix of neutral oak foudres and concrete tanks.”

Product Description
Sixty years ago, Antonin Faravel planted his first vines on the slope of La Grande Bouïssiere, at the feet of the Dentelles de Montmirail, with a passion inspired by this breathtaking site stretched between earth and sky. Following his untimely death, his children decided to continue his work. Domaine la Bouïssiere is today one of the few estates to produce wines from the three appellations located in this magnificent corner of the southern Rhône Valley: Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Beaumes de Venise.
Composed of 75 percent Grenache and 25 percent Syrah and vinified nearly all on whole cluster fruit, this wine showcases the defining qualities of a southern blend that benefits from older vines grown at altitude, aged in foudre and tank. Its character — juicy, vibrant, fresh, harmonious, with refined, integrated tannins — sets it apart from other heavier, more tannic wines of the region. This distinction is a constant, regardless of the wine’s particular nuances that are inspired by the character of each vintage. The wine’s ability to evolve harmoniously over time allows it to gain complexity without losing its core essence of freshness and vibrancy
