Domaine de la Grange des Pères 2013 comes from the limestone hills of Aniane, an area that Laurent Vaillé redefined for serious, age-worthy reds. His approach was straightforward and meticulous, relying on very low yields, careful fermentations and patient élevage. The blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cabernet Sauvignon and Counoise reflects the estate’s distinct soils and the steady consistency that made these wines some of the most sought-after in the Languedoc.
This vintage shows dark berry fruit, savory herbs and gentle spice, with a subtle earthiness that anchors the wine. The palate is firm and composed, supported by well-integrated tannins and a long finish that suggests further development. This is a rare bottle from a domaine whose reputation has only deepened since Laurent Vaillé’s passing, and it remains one of the defining expressions of the region.
