La Bastide St. Vincent

Flanking the evocatively named Dentelles de Montmirail, with vines on the equally evocative Plateau des Garrigues, La Bastide St Vincent is a delightful, family-owned wine domaine with 17^th-century origins.

Laurent Daniel works 26 hectares across six villages and 23 parcels, growing the famous trio of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. He vinifies them separately in a combination of cement and stainless steel; keeping temperatures relatively low to allow full and generous expression of the fruit flavours.

Laurent’s ’20s reflect the warm conditions of the vintage with very ripe, sweet fruit – a freshness and lightness also comes through in these wines.
