Cellier Lou Bassaquet Le Bio (Red)

2023
Mid-depth ruby red. Opulent fruits of the forest on the nose. Inky, blue mineral fruit and silky tannins indicate a clear Syrah presence. Fine, mineral and a touch austere, showing slightly less fruit on the palate than the nose suggests. The tannins are silky enough to drink almost as a chilled summer red, except the profile is driven by quite dark, dense, black fruit.

We’re mother and son duo Elizabeth Gabay MW and Ben Bernheim. Between us, we’ve been involved in the wines of southern France for over 30 years. Elizabeth started working with the wines of Provence back in 1986, and for the past 20 years has lived on the eastern edge of south-east France. We’ve worked on three books on rosé: Rosé Understanding the Pink Wine Revolution (2018), Elizabeth Gabay’s Buyers Guide to the Rosés of Southern France (2021 e-guide) and, most recently Rosés of Southern France (2022).
