Roquebrun Seigneur d'Aupenac (Magnum) 2014

Very rare opportunity to get this limited edition, fine red with such maturity. And in magnum. Roquebrun is one of two standout crus of Saint-Chinian. So good, its top wine matures magnificently for years. Fresh, ripe fruit, wild herbs and spice.

It's not often that truly great wines drop into a wine merchant's lap. Stationed in southern France, our buyer, Mark, heard rumour that magnums of the top wine from the great Roquebrun cellar were being sold off. That wine is the superb, limited-edition Seigneur d'Aupenac. Every vintage, this small premium village cellar, with its fine schist soils and high, southfacing slopes, holds back a few hundred magnums for use in shows and dinners. With the departure of Alain, their award-winning winemaker, the cellar agreed to sell the back vintages and Mark, without hesitation, said we'd take the lot. Made from finest low-yielding Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, the 2014 offers ripe, fresh fruit, floral and herbal notes, with a long spice finish.
