• DOMAINE CLAVEL
  

  LVT 2009 r A family that has gone in and out of making and bottling their own wine. Denis` great-grandfather Étienne made wine until 1956, when Denis`s father Gilbert closed the cellar and entered the Cave Co-operative. Denis took over in 1974, and left the Co-operative in 1991. He also grows 10 hectares of cherries such as the Burlat variety. They also make a liqueur of verbena (verveine), and focus is not a word I would use here.

• DOMAINE SAINTE-ANNE
  

  LVT 2009 r 2010 wh A right-bank domaine for notable, use of the Mourvèdre and the Viognier. These are very good wines indeed, but are something of an acquired taste due to being rather rigid and strict when young. The reds age extremely well, and need time to loosen their early tannins.
