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.

The Tavel is a blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Cinsault and 10% Syrah grown on the Calcaires soil of Tavel. After a brief carbonic maceration the grapes are pressed and aged half in old oak and half in vat before being blending and bottling without sulphur.
