Guilhem Durand, together with his consultant Claude Gros (who looks after some of the best Domaines in the Languedoc) have really refined Château la Bastide into delicious wines of great value.
The 70-hectare vineyard is southeast facing on chalky clay soil with alluvial gravel covering much of the topsoil and large round stones covering the best vineyard area. 80% Syrah, Grenache and Carignan Vieilles Vignes (some up to 120 years old) at 38 hl/ha in the hands of Guilhem Durand make Château la Bastide a wonderful mouthful of extraordinary good value. All the wines are made and matured in a mixture of cement and stainless steel tanks.
Dark in colour with flavours of dark fruits – boysenberry, plum and meaty, earthy, savoury spices. There is a gritty saline quality to the wine. The palate is quite full with those dark fruits flavours carrying through the palate finishing with soft tannins.
