Bergerie de la Bastide is a joint venture between a négociant-grower, Stéphane Vedeau, and a professor of oenology at Montpellier, Claude Serra, both of whom are champions of the terroir, usually ignored at this level in favour of fashionable grape varieties.
These are real wines, packed with personality and Southern France warmth and flavours.
V.D.P de Mediterrannee - The red is a savoury assemblage of Grenache, Merlot
and Cabernet Sauvignon, a lovely effort built on the twin pillars of fruit and structure. Ruby red
with red fruit aromas of cranberries and red cherries it is light, clean and fresh on the
palate with lively acidity and recurrent flavours of cassis and vanilla. Surprisingly good with Indian and Chinese food as well as grilled fish
