2022 Domaine de la Grange des Pères Vin de Pays de l'Hérault

Review Date: 04/2026

Strikingly pretty nose with this really pure and bright cherry singing through everything else, so incredibly lush and ripe and then everything else comes crashing in like a wave. There's so many little nuances in the back and sides of the nose, leather, tobacco, cacao, dried herbs, brambley earth, rosehips, and a little bit of something between white flowers and violets. Striped violets. It's definitely benefitted a lot opening up over the last few hours since we had the tasting, but I loved it then too. The palate again has this super pure and singing cherry note, but it's more dried than ripe, and again around it everything else fills in the other pieces, there's definitely some barrel roundness and spice, little touches of blueberry, dusty earth, black tea, a little bit of graphite, and then a little hint of tar on the lingering finish. You really kind of want to find faults with wines that at first glance seem overpriced and then you run into a wine like this that is super beautiful and you understand why it costs what it costs. This was great, super magnificent and I think with some age it would be even more spectacular. Yes.

Notes

A benchmark wine of the Languedoc, Grange des Pères has maintained cult status for decades. Pierre Rovani summed it up nicely back in 2004: "This estate’s wines are frightfully expensive and terribly hard to locate in the United States, selling out instantly upon arrival on our shores. Nevertheless, it is important for The Wine Advocate to report on them as doing so may inspire young winemakers in the Languedoc to follow in the footsteps of Laurent Vaille, the dedicated, highly talented winemaker of Domaine de la Grange des Pères."
