Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate February - 2002
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The saturated, dark ruby-coloured 1998 Vin de Pays de l'Hérault (red) bursts from the glass with candied red and black fruits. It is a powerful, medium to full-bodied wine with oodles of blackberries, cherries, currants, and spices that conquer the palate and seemingly never dissipate. Superbly pure, detailed and possessing loads of exquisitely ripened tannin, this is a wine that can be consumed in its youth or cellared for over a decade.

Looks at least five years older than the 1999. Liquorice and scent and very gentle and complex. Very polished. Much more substantial than the 2004. Long and still vigorous. Very gentle and lovely but with a spine too. Still some tannin as well as all that ripe fruit. Very good – even if definitely Languedoc rather than a claret copy, tant mieux.

Château Domaine De La Grange Des Pères

Domaine De La Grange Des Pères

The Domaine de la Grange des Pères is the most mythical estate in the Languedoc. Founded by Laurent Vaillé, a winemaker trained alongside Gérard Chave in Hermitage, Éloi Dürrbach at Domaine de Trévallon and Jean-François Coche-Dury in Burgundy, he produced his first vintage in 1992. Located in Aniane, in the Hérault, on land neighbouring the famous Mas de Daumas Gassac, the vineyard extends over some thirty hectares of clay-limestone terroirs surrounded by garrigue, between hillsides and stony terraces.

True to an exacting vision, Laurent Vaillé chose to produce his wines under the IGP Pays de l'Hérault designation rather than an appellation, in order to retain complete freedom of blending. La Grange des Pères rouge brings together syrah, mourvèdre and cabernet sauvignon, complemented by a touch of counoise, while La Grange des Pères blanc, even rarer, is based principally on roussanne, accompanied by marsanne, chardonnay and clairette. Very low yields and long ageing of more than two years in barrels produce wines that are deep, balanced and endowed with a remarkable capacity for ageing.

Produced in very limited quantities and sold by allocation, this great wine from the Languedoc has become a cult object sought after by enthusiasts the world over. Since the passing of Laurent Vaillé in 2021, his family has continued his work in the same spirit of rigour and discretion, perpetuating the legend of this exceptional estate.
