JEAN-LOUIS THIERS, EARL DU BIGUET
LVT 2018 wh 2016 r A domaine for very sound, occasionally delightful, full Saint-Péray still wine - a good local feel comes through after three years. The senior Saint-Péray Terres Rouilles is a good blend of 75% young Roussanne (2005), with 1950s Marsanne; it is notably elegant, the 2016 and the 2018 **** wines. The sparkling wines are good performers, but some of the vineyards have been dropped from Saint-Péray status due to an error being discovered (after many years) in the delineation of the appellation zone. There has been a sometimes likeable Cornas from old vines: it can be very drinkable after four to five years. Now in his early sixties with no successor, Jean-Louis has sold the harvest of the Cornas since 2018.
