Grange des Pères Rouge 1999 is a full-bodied, blended red wine from the Languedoc region of France. Domaine de la Grange des Pères was founded in the early 1990s by Laurent Vaillé, who is known for his meticulous and passionate approach to winemaking. The estate has gained a cult following and its wines are highly sought-after due to their limited production and exceptional quality. The Grange des Pères Rouge is a blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cabernet Sauvignon, with small amounts of Counoise. The grapes are grown on low-yielding, limestone-rich soils, and the vineyard management follows organic principles. "An exotic head shop of a nose. blackberry, orange peel, roasted meat, mace, clove, grilled nuts. Then extremely intensely flavoured and dense with extract; combines an almost confectionary late-harvest sweetness with bracing acid structure. Distinctly peppery, salty finish, like steak au poivre Laurent Vaille told me in the spring of 2000 that he brought in some of his mourvedre in `99 with potential alcohol as high as 18.5%! An extremely idiosyncratic, fascinating wine that gives the impression of coming from fruit picked weeks later than that at nearby Mas de Daumas Gassac." Vinous
