The tiny production 2015 Côtes du Roussillon Villages la Petite Sibérie comes from a single parcel and is mostly very old vine Grenache blended with 5% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Aged in new French oak, it offers loads black raspberry, spice-box, toasty oak, and dried flowers that continues to develop beautifully with time in the glass. Full-bodied, silky and elegant on the palate, it has ample depth and richness, no hard edges, beautiful purity, and a weightless, heaven finish. It needs 2-3 years of bottle age to integrate its oak (this cuvee always needs short-term cellaring) but is an incredible expression of Grenache from the Roussillon that delivers the goods. Bravo to Hervé Bizeul. ... More details

While I have a slight preference for the more-structured le Clos des Fées bottling, there's no doubting the unctuous appeal of the 2015 Côtes du Roussillon Villages la Petite Sibérie. Named for its cool site planted to old bush-vine Grenache, Little Siberia is a rich, almost chocolaty wine, filled with black cherries and dusty cocoa. Bizeul tops the wine with a blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre, but much of the structure must come from the new French oak barrels used for aging, despite how little cedar is detectable on the nose or palate. Long and velvety on the finish, wines like this show what parts of Roussillon are capable of when pampered by impeccable vineyard and cellar work.

This dark and dense wine is lovely and enticing right from the start, with concentrated aromas of black cherry, plum and mulberry. It's similarly brooding and rich in black fruit and berry flavors on the palate, topped with notes of roasted cocoa nib, pressed violet, garrigue oils and black tea for added depth and interest. The palate is smooth and velvety, with refined yet structuring tannins and a long finish of plush black fruit and lightly salted dark chocolate. Drink now–2029.
Winery
Endearing wine, impressive, extremely changeable according to places and occasions, evolving in the glass for several hours, from a breathtaking length to the tight tannins of a memorable velvety. Maturity 10 years, aging potential 30 years.

Varietal: Grenache

The Grenache grape varietal has its origins in the dry and arid regions of central Spain, where it continues to thrive to this day under the blazing sun of this region. However, its popularity and versatility has meant that these purple skinned grapes have spread all over the Old and New World and have become of the most widely planted grape varietals on earth. The tightly bunched, round fruit of the Grenache vine can be rigorous and prodigious in the correct conditions, but is often struggling against various types of rot and mildew. Thanks to modern techniques for avoiding such problems, Grenache grape farmers now enjoy strong and high quality yields which they can use to produce the distinctive light bodied and spicy wines associated with this grape.

Region: Languedoc Roussillon

Languedoc Roussillon is one of the world's most important wine regions, with an annual output which, amazingly, exceeds that of the United States, and which makes up for over a third of France's overall wine production. Languedoc Roussillon is also a hugely important region for wine history, and is widely regarded as probably the first part of France in which grapevines were cultivated, after many were introduced by the ancient Greeks several thousand years ago. The region is renowned around the world for having a dedication to quality which matches the quantity it produces, and the range of wines produced in Languedoc Roussillon is truly impressive, with red, white, dessert and sparkling wines all being made to high levels of excellence within the region.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
