96/100 Wine Spectator

Garde : Great ageing potential. The most patient will be rewarded. From 2026 to 2040.

"A solid, serious, dense red, with a seductive floral perfume of red fruit, blood-smoked sausage and mesquite ash. The Mourvèdre character is revealing, with meat and a salty, cast-iron mineral base. Singing garrigue, baking spices, white pepper and a pronounced herbaceous freshness infuse the heavy palate, which is just beginning to blossom. Superb. Mourvèdre, grenache, syrah, cinsault and clairette. "

High above the mistral-blown hills, the Plateau terroir yields one of Domaine des Bosquets' most secret gems. This very low-yielding cuvée (12 hl/ha) is made from old Mourvèdre vines planted in 1922, alongside a few Grenache, Syrah, Clairette, and Cinsault vines. Growing on a Santonian blue marl and limestone soil, this high-altitude microclimate, alternating between sunny days and cool nights, creates a deep, refined, and unique wine.

A harsh terroir for a noble wine

The extreme conditions of the Plateau—northern exposure, stony soil, and marked temperature variations—forge a wine with a vertical profile, both intense and of rare finesse. The vines strive to produce little, yet with greatness: only 2,800 bottles and 100 magnums are produced each vintage. Custom-Made Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand, late in October. They are vinified as whole bunches, vatted by gravity in open demi-muids. Maceration is long, punctuated by delicate manual interventions: gentle punching down and daily wetting. Aging then takes place for 18 months in used 600-liter barrels, promoting subtle integration without over-marking the wine.

Pairings & Service

Serve around 16°C, in large glasses. It will pair wonderfully with game dishes such as woodcock or venison, or with herb-roasted poultry.
