Description

91-92 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "A blend of Carignan and Syrah with smaller amounts of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, the red 2007 Le Soula -- tasted assembled from tank -- practically throws punches from the glass, with powerful rosemary, fennel, juniper berry, and distilled-strength blueberries and blackberries. Far more refined in tannins than its 2006 counterpart, but no less dynamic and startlingly refreshing (indeed, little less so than the white!) this offers deep meaty and mineral dimensions along with palate-staining bitter blue and black fruits and resinous herbs. In its assertive, brisk way, this striking wine should be fascinating to work with and worth following for at least 3-5 years. (Jun 2009)"

The World of Fine Wine: "This blend of 45% Carignan with 20% Grenache, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon (from a rented plot), and 15% Syrah is clear red in color, with scents of red fruits and herbs. The palate is edgy and elegant, its bright plum-fruit flavors lent complexity by fennel, pine, chicory, earth, and stone, and riven by searching acidity. (Issue #32; 2011)"

Le Soula is the quality of the vineyards. These are mostly small plots of old vines, spread out over quite a distance: there are 15 km between the furthest vineyards. ‘It takes half a day minimum to visit all the vineyards,’ says Gérald Stanley manager wine maker. They are all on decomposed granite, with the exception of one small parcel on schist. All have slightly different expositions, and the altitude ranges from 350–600 metres. Yields are low, ranging from 14–18 hl/ha.

Reds are made with whole bunches in the ferments. There is no acidification, and natural yeast ferments are employed. The wines are matured in large vats (1500 litres) and demi-muids (500 litres).
