The tiny production 2015 Côtes du Roussillon Villages la Petite Sibérie comes from a single parcel and is mostly very old vine Grenache blended with 5% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Aged in new French oak, it offers loads black raspberry, spice-box, toasty oak, and dried flowers that continues to develop beautifully with time in the glass. Full-bodied, silky and elegant on the palate, it has ample depth and richness, no hard edges, beautiful purity, and a weightless, heaven finish. It needs 2-3 years of bottle age to integrate its oak (this cuvee always needs short-term cellaring) but is an incredible expression of Grenache from the Roussillon that delivers the goods. Bravo to Hervé Bizeul. ... More details

While I have a slight preference for the more-structured le Clos des Fées bottling, there's no doubting the unctuous appeal of the 2015 Côtes du Roussillon Villages la Petite Sibérie. Named for its cool site planted to old bush-vine Grenache, Little Siberia is a rich, almost chocolaty wine, filled with black cherries and dusty cocoa. Bizeul tops the wine with a blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre, but much of the structure must come from the new French oak barrels used for aging, despite how little cedar is detectable on the nose or palate. Long and velvety on the finish, wines like this show what parts of Roussillon are capable of when pampered by impeccable vineyard and cellar work.

This dark and dense wine is lovely and enticing right from the start, with concentrated aromas of black cherry, plum and mulberry. It's similarly brooding and rich in black fruit and berry flavors on the palate, topped with notes of roasted cocoa nib, pressed violet, garrigue oils and black tea for added depth and interest. The palate is smooth and velvety, with refined yet structuring tannins and a long finish of plush black fruit and lightly salted dark chocolate. Drink now–2029.
Winery
Endearing wine, impressive, extremely changeable according to places and occasions, evolving in the glass for several hours, from a breathtaking length to the tight tannins of a memorable velvety. Maturity 10 years, aging potential 30 years.

Varietal: Grenache

The purple skinned grapes of the Grenache varietal have quickly become one of the most widely planted red wine grapes in the world, flourishing in several countries which have the correct conditions in which they can grow to ripeness. They thrive anywhere with a dry, hot climate, such as that found in central Spain and other such arid areas, and produce delightfully light bodied wines full of spicy flavors and notes of dark berries. Their robustness and relative vigor has led them being a favorite grape varietal for wineries all over the world, and whilst it isn't uncommon to see bottles made from this varietal alone, they are also regularly used as a blending grape due to their high sugar content and ability to produce wines containing a relatively high level of alcohol.

Region: Languedoc Roussillon

Languedoc Roussillon is a fascinating region of France for wine, culture and history. Having over 700,000 acres under vine, Languedoc Roussillon is the single biggest wine region on earth, providing the world with millions of bottles of wine each year. Indeed, the annual output of Languedoc Roussillon alone is larger than that of the United States, and despite the vast quantity of wine it producer, wineries in Languedoc Roussillon have never lost sight of the fact they are dedicated to quality first and foremost. The climate of the region is one of the most ideal on earth for viticulture, with months of blazing sunshine tempered by cooling breezes and plenty of moisture, resulting in wonderfully ripened grapes packed full of fascinating flavors and characteristics.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
