(2014 Vintage Notes)

Always beautifully defined, this cuvée is dominated on the nose by aromas of red berries, complemented by spicy notes and very delicate floral undertones. On the palate, this Corbières is full-bodied and generous, with lovely silky, refined, and elegant tannins that are by no means lacking in power. Without a doubt, a standout of the appellation!

Rated estate (2016 guide): 2 stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Patrick Reverdy and his son Laurent are deeply attached to their Carignan vines, a specialty of the Corbières-Boutenac terroir. We are right in the heart of the designated appellation for this wine. The entry-level cuvée is a benchmark in Corbières. The Romain-Pauc cuvée, named in honor of a family ancestor, blends Carignan and Grenache vines well over forty years old with younger Syrah and Mourvèdre vines.

Rated estate (2017 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

Driven by a desire to showcase the unique character of the Boutenac terroir, five generations have built the reputation of this leading Corbières estate. Patrick Reverdy and his son Laurent have dedicated themselves to highlighting their old Carignan vines, the backbone of their production. Vinified using carbonic maceration, Carignan makes up half of the blend for the iconic Romain Pauc cuvée. While many producers in the Corbières region are advancing rapidly, La Voulte-Gasparets has kept pace and, in recent vintages, has produced consistently high-quality wines that, moreover, often age beautifully.
