We were told about
Domaine du Bon Remède by friends who live in Mazan running the Auberge du
Vin. Linda Field is a well regarded wine instructor who also works for
Inter-Rhone so she spends a fair amount of time checking out good local
wineries. She doesn't have to go far for this one which is just the other
side of this busy Provencal village to her farmhouse. We have been visiting Bon Remède as tourists for several years and decided it was time to
get serious with the Delay family who purchased their first vines in 1996
and built the winery the following year. They now have Terra Vitis status
which is a stepping stone towards organic production for estates too small
to undergo the full rigour of Ecocert certification.
In
2011, Frederic and Lucile added to their vineyards with the purchase of a
8ha plot of old vines which produces their flagship Grenache/Syrah blend,
'La Grange Delay', which is exceptionally drinkable and surely one of the
best value wines we have encountered. In 2016, some of this Grenache was
used to make a superb anniversary cuvee (so we are lucky to be offering the
2018 Grange Delay which includes all the best Grenache!).|
