Domaine La Sarabande

Paul and Isla Gordon, who had been making wine the world over for more than a decade, started Domaine la Sarabande in 2009. They were drawn to the region by the schist soils and the old vines, of the classic Mediterranean varieties, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsaut and Carignan. As Paul puts it 'we believe these old vines deserve respect'. When they first came to Europe they went to look for a vineyard in Priorat, which has similar vines also on schist, but were put off by the land prices, which would have meant a minimum 20€ price tag on the wine. The vineyard is farmed organically, and the wines are hand-harvested, naturally fermented, and bottled unfined and unfiltered, so as to best express the soils and climate of the vineyard while being technically correct and free of faults - which is perhaps where training in some of the new world wineries gives the Gordons a lead over some of the indigenous growers. We were delighted by the combination of power and delicacy, of complexity along with a clean purity, that the 2010 wines (from only their second harvest) displayed at our introductory tasting.

Vin de Pays Languedoc-Roussillon France
Tasted for the first time in this vintage, we simply loved everything about this wine. It is very simply made, from the treatment in the vineyard to the natural wild yeast ferment, to the handling in the winery. Marked by dark cherry fruit, sweet leathery notes and fine tannins this is a beautifully balanced wine that really wants to be consumed.

2010 FAUGÈRES Domaine La Sarabande
2010 FAUGÈRES Domaine La Sarabande
Languedoc-Roussillon France
Paul and Isla Gordon have fashioned some fantastic Faugères in only their second vintage. What most appeals is the closeness of the texture and the sheer exuberant freshness of the aromas, so that the touch of Carignan adds, as they put it 'intrigue' rather than coarseness. Brilliant example.
