Gourt de Mautens
Domaine Gourt de Mautens is a one-man operation, owned and operated by winemaker Jérôme Bressy. Hailing from a family of grape growers, Jérôme’s father decided to stop selling to the local cooperative in 1989 and also switch to organic farming. The steep hillside vineyards of Gourt de Mautens are planted with 40 to 100-year-old vines, with soils made up of chalky, clay marls, which aids in both water retention and adding the mineral thrust found throughout the entire lineup at Gourt de Mautens.

Wonderfully leathery and savoury – almost Bordelais. Dried herbs with earth, chocolate and truffle. Absolutley on point – so complex and chewy. Long, medicinal finish.$442.00 -

Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Counoise, Vaccarèse, Cinsault, Syrah, Muscardin; 14hl/ha yields; 30 months in large barrels before bottling. Already open and expressive, with black pepper and juniper married with liquorice, raspberry, plum and garrigue herbs. It’s full-bodied, but so lively and expressive, with a grand tannic structure and a powerful, grippy finish. It’s generous in alcohol but doesn't taste unbalanced. Just outrageously good.$350.00 -

As to the red, the 2016 Vaucluse reminded me of the 2007 with its incredible opulence, sweetness of fruit, and flamboyant style. Awesome black raspberry and strawberry fruit characteristics all intermix with notes of incense, white and black pepper, fruit cake, plums, garrigue, and Asian spices on the nose. Full-bodied, deep, and concentrated on the palate, it doesn’t pull any punches and the sweet fruit scale (I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a kiss of residual sugar here), yet has beautiful purity, no hard edges, and a fabulous, clean, dry finish. It took plenty of air to show at its best and will benefit from just short-term cellaring. It’s one of the sexiest wines in the vintage and will keep for a decade.$363.00 -
