La Tour’s Restaurant’s excellent sommelier, Paul Dimario, introduced the Iche family’s cuvee “les Heretiques” about five years ago, singing the praises of the wine and the deeply entrenched loyalty to the principles of biodynamics exhibited in the making of the wine.
As these things go, the wine disappeared from the market shortly thereafter, and we had not visited the wine again until this past week.
While not as powerful as we’d remembered, the wine remains a superb value.
The blend of carignan, grenache and syrah offers dark fruit and earthiness with soft tannins and well priced for easy every day drinking.
