2011 Lafage Bastide Miraflors


2011 Lafage Bastide Miraflors
Winestore Price: $12.99 per bottle


Any time Charlotte based wine importer Eric Solomon creates a new project we pay close attention. When he creates it with winemaking wizard Jean Marc Lafage we pay double close attention. And when wine critic Robert Parker goes out of his way to post the following we pay SERIOUS attention.

"There are 3,000 cases of the naked virginal, unoaked 2011 Bastide Miraflors Vieilles Vignes made from 70% Syrah and 30% Grenache aged in concrete. The difficult economic situation in the Languedoc Roussillon corridor is being exploited to the maximum by importer Eric Solomon. The fact that wines such as this can be purchased is unbelievable. Largely an artisinal wine, it is brilliantly pure with a stunning nose of spring flowers, blackberries, cassis and earth. It is almost incomprehensible that something of this quality, complexity and richness can be purchased for $15 to $50, much less $10 to $12. The 3,000 cases should be gobbled up as quickly as they hit retailers' shelves. I am honored to share my excitement about this amazing wine with readers."
- Robert Parker

So ignore the hype if you want...all we know is we're buying cases for ourselves, and we think you should too!
