Reviewed March 2021Based on 74% Syrah and 26% Grenache brought up in in a combination of concrete tanks (for the Grenache) and one year old demi-muids (for the Syrah), the 2018 Cotes Du Roussillon Bastide Miraflors is a knockout bottle of wine. It offers loads of black fruits, roasted herbs, peppered meat, violets, and bacon fat as well as full-bodied richness, a round, opulent style, ripe tannins, and a blockbuster finish.

Is it any wonder that the 2018 Bastide Miraflors is a success? With a string of 5 vintages of 92+ pointed wines under its belt, the wine is an almost unquestionable force of nature. Loaded with the much beloved brambly blackberry and currant jam flavors, that exquisite fruit is surrounded by sweet tannins and balancing acidity. Like all young Bastides this is out of the gate rocking, but will gain in charm and refinement over the next few years. Cases, as always, a MUST!
Notes
Jean-Marc Lafage has knocked it out of the park once again with this high-quality, low-cost stunner of a wine. Domaine Lafage is housed in their facility just outside the city of Perpignan. One of the most advanced wineries in the region, Jean-Marc and his wife Eliane are crafting "must buy" wines from the region of Roussillon. The Bastide Miraflors is a blend of Syrah and old-vine Grenache. The vineyards for this wine are practicing organic with an average vine age of 55 years. Each year it remains one of our best sellers. We expect no less again. (Practicing Organic)
