Biodynamic. This superb value wine was previously known simply as the Côtes du Rhône cuvée. It is now named Les P’tit Gars (‘the little mates’), a term used to refer to the brothers Frédéric and François Alary around the town of Cairanne when they were boys. It’s crafted from mature vine Grenache (60%) and Syrah (20%) with the remainder made up of Mourvèdre, Counoise, Cinsault, Vaccarèse, Muscardin and Terret Noir from the Domaine’s new plantings (massale selection from Châteauneuf-du-Pape). Notwithstanding the younger vines, it’s essentially an old-vine version of the Domaine’s entry-level Côtes du Rhône (P’tit Martin) with correspondingly greater depth, structure and savouriness. There was no small wood involved in the aging and the wine was bottled without fining or filtration.
