One of our long time direct import properties. From the same owners as the famed St. Julien Chateau Talbot this beauty comes from Coteaux Varois en Provence, on 15 ha of vines with a cooler and windier terroir on deep clay-limestone slopes.
A custom cuvée for European Cellars and a joint project between Eric Solomon and Jean-Marc Lafage, Bastide Miraflors is a cuvée created from old vine Grenache (30%) grown on the schist and granite soils of Saint-Paul de Fenouillet, a terroir that always ripens late in the year, and Syrah (70%) from gravelly soils near the Mediterranean. After a long maceration of six weeks, the wine ages for 12 months in roughly 3/4 concrete vats and 1/4 600L French oak demi-muids.
This collaboration between Chateau Beychevelle and top Bordeaux Negociant Barriere Freres is one of our best-selling white wines. 100% Sauvignon Blanc, this is crisp, refreshing and flat out amzazing for the price!
From our best-selling (and Bassins direct import) grower Foucher Lebrun... this "baby Sancerre" drinks way above its price point!
