La Peira, Las Flors de la Peira Terasses du Larzac 2016

As well as the grand vin La Pèira, the estate produces a second wine, Las Flors. Made with the same care and attention to detail as La Peira, Las Flors de la Pèira is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mouvedre. In recent vintages, small amounts of Cinsault and Carignan are added to the blend. Las Flors de la Pèira is a pure expression of the unique terroir of the Estate’s Belle Fiolle (Bellefeuille) lieu-dit . Hand harvest and de-stemming for all grapes with natural yeast ferment in tank. Ageing in large oak vats for Les Obriers and in barrels of 500L + 600L for most other wines with no fining or filtering for reds.

La Pèira is a small 15.3 hectare domain located in the well drained limestone gravels of Les Terrasses du Larzac, at Saint Saturnin in the Herault department in Languedoc. The domain is owned by expatriate Australian composer Rob Dougan and his French Mauritian wife Karine Ahton (a lawyer who grew up near Montpellier). Only estate grown fruit is used coming from 10-50 year old vines. Intensive work is done in the vineyards and the soil is worked manually to produce tiny yields (8-20hl/ha depending on the wine and vintage). Quantities of all wines here are by definition very limited with just 500 cases produced of the Grand vin, La Peira and only 700 cases of the second wine Las Flores de la Peira and fewer than 300 cases of the white blend, Deusyls.
