Coteaux du Languedoc - Terrasses du Larzac Domaine de La Pèira en Damaisèla La Pèira Karine Ahton et Robert Dougan 2017

The wine

La Pèira, the property’s top wine, is made predominantly from Syrah and blended with Grenache. This cuvée exudes delicious aromas of raspberry and blackcurrant with notes of violet, spice and liquorice. The palate is wonderfully fruity, with some power, but also elegant and fresh. The overall effect is very balanced. This wine can be paired with a wide range of red meat, small game and white meat dishes.

About the Producer La Pèira en Damaisèla

Located in Saint-Saturnin-de-Lucian, half way between La Grange des Pères and Daumas-Gassac, the La Pèira en Damaisèla domain is a recent creation (2004). Karine Ahton (a Languedoc lawyer) and Robert Dougan (an Australian composer) are the founders of this 11-hectare domain in the Terrasses du Larzac, which they immediately set out to position at the top of the range, with a highly quality-oriented approach. Work in the vines is very precise and meticulous; in the winery, the key is as little intervention as possible. This domain has been praised by international critics (Robert Parker, Jancis Robinson, etc.), as "Many observers consider this to be the most exciting estate in the Languedoc" (R. Parker).
