5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"A dense, generously fruited and textural syrah with blackberries, dark chocolate, cassis and sweet spices. It’s full-bodied with plush tannins. Fleshy and spicy with a linear development and a focused finish. Drink or hold."
For more than a century, Domaine de la Baume has been carrying on a viticultural tradition and producing enchanting wines with strong aromatic potential. Rooted in the heart of Languedoc-Roussillon in the small village of Servian, between Béziers and the medieval town of Pézenas, the Domaine is a source of inspiration. A true haven of tranquility, surrounded by nature, it embodies the warmth of the South, conviviality, sharing but also love for the land.
"It's beautifully scented on the nose, showing dark plum, blueberry, liquorice, floral, and subtle spice aromas. The succulent palate delivers excellent weight and fleshy texture, wonderfully framed by fine-grained tannins, finishing long and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2030."
- Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"This is superbly ripe and perfumed. We have been importing this wine for over 10 years and it never misses a beat. Always chock full of ripe plummy fruit with a touch of spice wrapped up in soft smooth tannins. Smashes it out of the park for quality & value."
