Tasting Notes

"Mulberry and plum are etched by veins of garrigue and dark earth in this concentrated blend of Grenache and Syrah. It's luminous in fruit but savory too, anchored by fine, firm tannins and a lingering mineral finish. It drinks well already but should improve through 2027."

The Producer

Domaine Les Semelles De Vent

Domaine les Semelles de Vent is run by Christophe Galon and his wife YuYen. While owner Christophe Galon has been growing grapes on his family's land for 25 years in Vacqueyras, it was only in 2009 that he took the leap and left the co-operative to venture out on his own. His wines are made very traditionally, fermentation in concrete tanks then aging in old oak. The Grenache vines here are all over 60 years old, and the Syrah and Mourvèdre more than 40. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered and are of outstanding quality. The house style is for very pure fruit and gentle extractions. Their Châteauneuf is extremely unique, being made from 100% Mourvèdre. Along with being a winemaker, Christophe is also an artist; he creates all the drawings that go on to each of their beautiful wine labels.
