Château de la Forge

The Best of Southern France, According to a Local Winemaker

"I suggest trying the carignan-syrah blend from his estate at La Forge: Bertrand says it was his father's favorite parcel, with some carignan vines over 100 years old and syrah also from old vines, and the blend evokes powerful, elegant aromas that delicately balance spice with all the nuances of cherries — tartness, jam, and stone." - Eric Rosen Eric Rosen Eric Rosen is a Los Angeles-based journalist with a focus on luxury travel, loyalty programs, food, and wine.
