Tasting Notes:

This generous wine, very fruity, powerful, slightly spicy, has a round and supple finish.  In harmony with cheeses: red meats and game.  Unfiltered, aged 6 months in concrete tanks.

Blend: 70% Grenache, 30% Syrah

ABOUT DOMAINE DE DURBAN:

To walk through the high-altitude vineyards at Domaine de Durban is to walk through history, a handful of the soil reveals ancient Roman roof tiles and medieval pot shards. The scenic views put one at pause considering the timelessness—wine has been a part of the culture here for millennia. Jacques Leydier bought the property in the 1960s when the farm had fallen into disrepair. Today, Henri and Philippe Leydier run the domaine and this magical spot has assumed a higher purpose, producing some of the most memorable wines of the Southern Rhône. The Leydiers farm fifty-five hectares, producing a powerful Gigondas, a velvety Beaumes-de-Venise Rouge, and undeniably the most celebrated Muscat in the entire appellation.
