A custom cuvée for European Cellars and a joint project between Eric Solomon and Jean-Marc Lafage, Bastide Miraflors is a cuvée created from old vine Grenache (30%) grown on the schist and granite soils of Saint-Paul de Fenouillet, a terroir that always ripens late in the year, and Syrah (70%) from gravelly soils near the Mediterranean. After a long maceration of six weeks, the wine ages for 12 months in roughly 3/4 concrete vats and 1/4 600L French oak demi-muids.
Critic Ratings
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 90:
Elegantly peppery, the 2022 Côtes du Roussillon Bastide Miraflors evokes aromas of dark berries, spices, flowers and ripe cherries. Moderately weighted, round and supple, it's textured with structured tannins and a long, ethereal finish. There's no reason to wait.
