Top drop of the month
Yes, the durif grape can produce big reds, but the best examples, like this, from one of the region’s most seasoned durif makers, combine power with cellarworthy poise and elegance.

More approachability than usual for this sometimes brutish grape. The colour has a youthful tint; the rounded, harmonious bouquet has preserved-plum notes. A full-bodied, palate is fleshy with ample fruit sweetness, countered by drying tannins to finish. Cellar-worthy.

Brash red of dark inky fruit, sweet and ripe plummy fruit, soft tannins and palate-staining feel. Flows well despite its heft, with a fresh belt of acidity, the compensation for durif’s bombastic fruit feel. Likely best with some dark chocolate or similar.
