The Luberon appellation ranks among one of the most sun-drenched regions in France with approximately 2,600 hours of sun per year. The presence of vines in the Luberon goes back to antiquity. Read More...
The Romans planted these vines in particular in the Pays d'Aigues region, and then in the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance, the wine-growing areas spread widely, especially to the north of the Petit Luberon.
The development of the vineyards increased at the end of the 19th century and subsequently between the two wars. At the beginning of the 70s the winegrowers of the Appellation, who were conscious of the need to modernize, undertook major works. Their efforts were crowned with success in 1988 when the Cotes du Luberon obtained the Appellation of Controlled Origin. Today, we call it simply "Lubéron"...
WINE & SPIRITS 90 POINTS - "The ease of this wine's vibrant dark cherry fruit is directly counter to the firmness of the stones underneath, holding the wine in an intriguing tension. A blend of 80 percent grenache with syrah, it feels earthy and real, a pleasure to drink."

Beziers in France's Languedoc region.He produces delicious wines naturally with as little intervention as possible - many of his wines have no added sulphur. Fou du Roi (the mad king) is a blend of 30% of each of Grenache Noir, Cinsault and Carignan and 10% of Cabernet Sauvignon and weighs in at only 12% alcohol. It displays cherry on the nose and has an elegance and vibrancy that is very appealing. It has good tannin structure which will help as it ages and the finish is long, clean and lively. Definitely one for those who want to explore the complexity of natural wines.

Ogier is one of the great names of the Côtes-Rôtie, but this wine is labeled with the rather tricky Vins de Pays “Les Collines Rhodaniennes.” The total area of the famed Côtes-Rôtie is only 450 acres and the “Rosine” bottling comes from an adjacent parcel that is outside the appellation, but shares the same granite soils as the AOC. La Rosine is 100% Syrah and shows classic Northern Rhône firmness and spice with a texture that more closely resembles Burgundy than New World Syrah.

It was completely destemmed and the practice of pigeage was utilized during the fermentation. This big wine needs to shed some of its tannin. Closed and dense with lots of minerality as well as inky fruit, give it 3-4 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 15 years."

When we add the current vintage, the solera gains a new element without changing the style...This wine recalls the ancient times when the wine merchants would make wines having only one target : the pleasure. Blending several vintages is considered being a great quality tradition in Champagne. I think it works exactly the same for a great Grenache.
