Romain Le Bars runs a tiny 1.5 hectare estate in Gard in the southern Rhône. He spent 7 years working with winemaker Eric Pfifferling at Domaine de L’Anglore and prior to that assisted Matthieu Vallée at Château Yvonne. Romain works, mostly, with Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, and vinifies in old wood using little to no sulphur. Vibrant, pure and brimming with energy, Romain's wines are about drinkability but with an underlying power that justifies the comparison to L'Anglore. Incredible and extremely limited wines, from a rising star in the South of France.

Les Vestides is a blend of 80% Cinsault and 20% Grenache that underwent carbonic maceration for 10 days before ageing in large oak barrels for 9 months. A gorgeous wine with bright red berry fruit (strawberry, raspberry), floral notes of peony, and a touch of white pepper and Mediterranean garrigue.
