Description

Les Terrasses de Larzac, located just to the north-west of Montpellier, is currently the most fashionable and acclaimed enclave in the Languedoc. Made from 40% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre (the SGM acronym is ugly but quite popular), Las Flors is aged in barrique and farmed at exceptionally low yields late in October.

The 2010 was a delightful vintage in the Eastern Languedoc and Messrs Dougan and Depierre have returned the compliment by employing careful oak management, allowing the gestation of the most sophisticated and subtle Flors to date, its dark fruit imprimatur nicely gilded with elegant tannins and finely balanced acidity.

Critics reviews

Wine Advocate94/100
My favorite of the lineup (not by much) is the 2010 Terrasses du Larzac Las Flors de La Pèira  A blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Syrah and the balance Mourvedre and Cinsault, aged in 25% new barrels, its inky purple color is followed by notions of black cherry, leather, licorice and assorted mineral and rocky qualities. Full-bodied, seamless and silkily textured, with beautiful mid-palate depth and integrated acidity, it will continue to shine through 2025.

Rob Dougan's second wine is not as substantial as La Pèira but has loads of charm. The Grenache (55%) is evident but not heavy and there's fine tannins and real energy. Syrah (30%), Mourvèdre (10%) and Cinsault (5%) complete the mix.

About this WINE

La  Peira

La Peira

Our most exciting Languedoc find recently , La Pèira is located on the limestone plateau of the fashionable enclave of Les Terraces du Larzac.

First planted by the Romans, these beautiful vineyards share the terrain with the Roquefort-producing sheep and the wild savagery of the garrigue. The ‘Domaine’ consist of a stone barn, its location almost exactly half way between the two great properties of Grange des Pères and Mas de Daumas Gassac.

Highly respected consultant oenologist Claude Gros has really struck gold here. His secret is fairly straightforward and centres on traditional winemaking with indigenous varietals (both Carignan and Cinsault pre-date Grenache in the area).

Every single wine in the versatile Pèira portfolio is an absolute stunner; from the magisterial complexity of the white, Deusyls, through to the three reds which pretty much cover the spectrum of expectation from a great red wine; Les Obriers is fruity yet dense, Les Flors is rich yet magnificently intricate and La Pèiraen Damaisela is a terrific vin de garde, worthy of extended cellaring.
