Patricia Boyer-Domergue

VINTAGES is thrilled to welcome Patricia Boyer-Domergue to our Concord store on Tuesday, September 10, 5:00-7:30pm for a tasting of wine from her estate, CLOS CENTEILLES.  These singular wines from the Languedoc have earned a devoted following over the years: few wines offer this much character and aging potential for the money. Working tirelessly for the region as a whole, Patricia achieved Grand Cru designation in 2011 for her flagship wine, Clos Centeilles Minervois La Liviniere.
Innovating for quality, restoring lost grapes and wines while building the reputation of the region, Patricia has a lot to say about the importance of place and the future of tradition. Please join us! 

Patricia will pour these wines on Tuesday, Sept. 10:

2007 CLOS CENTEILLES $25
The flagship wine of the estate; the blend of Syrah, Grenache  Noir and Mourvedre is traditional for the region; the profound elegance, depth, and complexity of character are not.

 

2011 "C de Centeilles" Blanc $22
A unique "heritage" wine created with long-lost grape varieties: Araignan blanc, Riveirenc gris, Riveirenc Blanc, Grenache gris. Complex, fleshy yet refreshing and beautifully balanced.  

 

2008 "C de Centeilles" Rouge $17.99
The red counterpart to the heritage white, C de Centeilles Rouge is a blend of local nearly-forgotten grapes Piquepoul Noir, Riveirenc Noir, Morastel Noir a jus blanc, and Oeillade. (If it sounds like a mouthful, wait until you taste it!)

 

2007 Campagne de Centeilles $14.99
Made from a vineyard of 50-year-old Cinsault, a troublesome grape that in the right hands, yields a surprisingly age-worthy wine. Get to know what Cinsault can do.
