Domaine de Baruel, Vin de Pays des Cévennes
Rainer Pfefferkorn
Rainer Pfefforkorn produced some excellent wines from this small domaine, high in the hillsides of the Cévennes, where he had nine hectares of syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, on a stony slatey marl soil. Unfortunately he decided to sell up in 1999, and has moved not that far away, where he is in the process of creating another small vineyard…. Watch this space!
Meanwhile, we can still offer his some of his famous cuvées, from both the classic syrah cabernet blend, to the
Fontanilles, a pure syrah from his best parcelles. We also have small stocks of magnums. Quantities are limited, except for the excellent 1996, from a blend of Syrah and Cabernet, aged for eighteen months in oak foudres. Firm, full flavoured broad earthy fruit flavours, with good backbone and length. Starting to drink well, but ideally still needs opening an hour or two before drinking. |
