Description
 
Domaine Gourt de Mautens has become one of the hottest properties in the Southern Rhône. Within a few short years, Gourt de Mautens’ owner, Jérôme Bressy, has already been compared to all-time greats such as Henri Bonneau and the late Jacques Reynaud of Château Rayas. To further his status as an uncompromising perfectionist, Jérôme recently declassified all his wines to IGP Vaucluse; a shot aimed against the sometimes too rigid laws of the AOC. When Jerome learned that the grape variety Picardin would be excluded from the new list of permitted grape varieties in AOC Rasteau (which also required reduction of other minor varietals to less than 15% of any Rasteau blend) he opted out of the appellation.

A true blockbuster, the Grenache-dominated 2012 IGP Vaucluse comes all from clay and limestone soils around Rasteau, and spent 24-36 months in a combination of foudres and demi-muids. Loaded with notions of black cherries, black currants, crushed rocks, licorice and roasted herbs, this beauty is full-bodied, voluptuous, sexy and gorgeously textured. And while it has tons of richness, it also has notable purity, good freshness and ripe tannin that frame the finish nicely. It’s already hard to resist, but it will continue to knock your socks off for another 10-15 years. Wine Advocate 95 (2012)
