Winemaker Notes
Flagship Grenache Blend named after the famed Philosopher Pierre Abelard to reflect its forceful, brooding intensity and showcase the opulence and concentration of our old-vine Grenache, with some Syrah to add to the complex structure.
Critical Acclaim
RP95
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Tasted from tank prior to its July bottling, the 2015 IGP Vaucluse Abelard (Grenache and Syrah) looks as if it will rival the 2010. Wreaths of smoke encircle lovely cherry-berry fruit in this full-bodied, richly concentrated and long-finishing wine.
Range: 93-95
JS95
James Suckling
A complex nose of dark berries, bark, black olives, dried herbs, black earth, mushrooms and white pepper. It’s full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Structured and slightly chewy with a spicy edge. Intense and balanced with a vibrant character and purity of fruit at the center. Grenache and syrah. Grainy finish.
WS91
Wine Spectator
Supple and refined, with steeped black cherry and smoked plum liberally dusted with pepper. Smoky and brooding, showing a cool menthol note and tomato leaf herbaceous character. Bottle age has contributed to this wine's harmony and gracious earthy, potpourri character. Grenache and Syrah.
