Domaine des Escaravailles
Domaines des Escaravailles was established in 1953 by Jean-Louis Ferran and his two sons, Daniel and Jean-Pierre, in the village of Rasteau.
Today it is run by the third generation of the family, Gilles, the son of Daniel. With vineyards on not only the clay, limestone hillsides of Rasteau, but also in Cairanne, Roaix, Villedieu and St Roman de Malegarde. The estate is run organically and everything is done by hand with the wines made in the cellars in the heart of the property in Rasteau.
The estate takes it's name from the Occitan word for the Scarab Beetle, which you will also find adorning the labels of the wines.

What's Inside the Case?
This case contains two 75cl bottles of each of the following six wines (twelve bottles in total):
2 x 2021 LIRAC La Dame Rousse, Domaine de la Mordor茅e
A benchmark of the appellation from one of its most revered producers. Expect a beautifully aromatic and silky wine, offering a sublime balance of ripe raspberry and black cherry fruit with notes of violet, garrigue, and spice. Elegant, refined, and utterly compelling.
2 x 2022 RASTEAU Les Coteaux, Domaine des Escaravailles
A powerful and expressive Rasteau that captures the sun-drenched intensity of the terroir. This is a rich, full-bodied wine bursting with concentrated dark plum, blackberry, and liquorice, all wrapped in a structure of ripe, velvety tannins. A classic example of powerhouse Grenache.
2 x 2021 CH脗TEAUNEUF DU PAPE Tradition Domaine Jean Royer
A supple Grenache loaded with cherry fruit, floral notes and a hint of spice. Medium to full bodied, this a superb approachable Ch芒teauneuf du Pape. Ready to drink but with a few years ahead. It will be good friends with a leg of lamb or a venison stew.
2 x 2023 VACQUEYRAS, Domaine la Bou茂ssi猫re
A superb example of Vacqueyras' structured and age-worthy potential. This wine is robust and deeply coloured, offering intense notes of black cherry, fig, and pepper. Its firm tannins and vibrant acidity promise excellent development in the cellar, though it is already deeply satisfying.

An absolute masterclass in Gigondas from the legendary Domaine Santa Duc. This wine is a mosaic of different plots ('lieux-dits'), creating a wine of incredible dimension and minerality.
