More information
Vincent Boyer is a second generation winemaker, working at his family property, Domaine de la Bastide, in the southern Rhône's prized Visan region. It's an ancient estate, formerly run by Benedictine monks and before that as a farm by Knights Templar. Vincent has plenty of artefacts to prove that, including ancient coins and a centuries old wine vat. The Boyer family bought it in 1989 and today Vincent and his wife Stephanie run it. Vincent makes a range of wines - from Côtes du Rhône Villages Visan to this simple, but totally delicious red. It's made for drinking young and is so easy going it's lovely on its own or with weekday suppers. From toad in the hole, to marinaded veggie kebabs with couscous and feta. In summer, try it chilled.
