One of the wines of the vintage will be the 2014 Terrasses du Larzac la Peira comes from a single parcel of vines just beside the estate and is a mix of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre that's raised in 40% new barrels. Its inky color is followed by fabulous notes of blackberries, pepper, beef blood and violets. Big, rich, full-bodied and nicely balanced, with a great mid-palate and tons of chocolatey fruit on the finish, i'?s less concentrated than the 2015 yet will evolve nicely on its balance.

One of the stars on the rise in this up-and-coming region, this a producer to watch over the next handful of years. We think they are on the same level as luminaries like Granges des Peres and Mas de Daumas Gassac. We loved this wines complex aromas of wild game, pure blackberry essence and freshly cut flowers, with equally as complex and layered flavors. This is a real showstopper that will impress a wide swath of wine-lovers. We have a crazy price of $30 off the release price with 93-96 points from Wine Advocate to boot! Grab some!
About the Producer
Terasses du Larzac is an incredible place in the Languedoc. The region is home to luminaries like Mas de Daumas Gassac, Granges des Peres and Mas Julien, estates that have defined a new paradigm for wine from the Languedoc. Go back further in history any you will find the usual cast of characters known for being able to spot the right place to put a vineyard, Romans and Benedictine monks in particular, but one of the newest pioneers rooted in this gravelly terroir is La Péira en Damaisèla. Writing recently in Gourmet Traveller, Andrew Jeffords remarks of La Pèira, “great wines, the kind of wines that can jolt consumers’ perceptions of the Languedoc and can rival the best from Bordeaux, and the Rhône.”
