Keep this one to yourselves please! We
don’t want to let the cat out of the bag so to speak. This was one of the most
impressive wines I tried this year in the Rhone Valley,
it drinks way above its Cotes du Rhone Village status.
Domaine Calendal is joint venture
between Giles Ferran of Domaine de Escaravailles and the pre-eminent southern Rhone consultant Philipe Cambie. They jointly own this
tiny 4 hectare vineyard that is planted 75% Grenache and 25% Mourvedre, the
wines are stunning and in very short supply, rarely have I come across a wine
with depth and structure like this, it is worth every penny. We have a tiny
allocation of 5 dozen bottles.
Drink 2012 - 2018

Tasting Notes
We have been championing the cause of
this excellent estate for a number of years now, and as they become better
known our allocations seem to dwindle, such is life. If you are yet to try any
of the sumptuous wines the 2009 ‘ Le Ventabran’ Cairanne is a great staring
point. The secret to this vineyard is the age of the vines and very low yields.
The ‘Le Ventabren’ is made up from 70 year old Grenache, 35 year old Syrah and
60 year old Carignan. The wine is showing beautiful concentrated dark red
fruits with fresh acidity great tannins. Drink 2013 – 2020
