Quelle Chance! 2015 French Cellar-Steal
2015 was a dream year across France: Growers in every region marveled at the warm, dry weather that made farming easy and allowed them to pick at perfect ripeness—and once the wines started hitting the market, collectors got the memo FAST.
That’s why we feel extremely lucky to have scored a cellar-steal from one of France’s greatest vintages: the 2015 Les Terrasses de l'Arago l'Heritage des Terrasses. A lushly-coiled blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre that earned a staggering 96-point score, it’s an outlier that’s just hitting its drinking window and promises to evolve for another five-plus years.
The 2020 Decanter World Wine Awards judges thought so highly of this “voluptuously soft and billowing” red that they bestowed a gold medal on it. It’s one of the finest efforts to hail from the brilliant 2015 harvest in the southernmost reaches of France, and an ideal accompaniment for late-summer barbecues and the early snap of fall air.
The wine's powerful, dark-fruit-infused bouquet blossoms high above the glass, pulling you into a palate of black cherry, plum, and graphite minerals cradled by fine tannins, all building to a fantastic, lengthy finish. You’re left marveling at how much power L'Heritage Des Terrasses has accumulated after a year in French oak barrels and plenty more time in bottle.
It brings to mind the exclamation of a Bay Area dining companion we shared this bottle with, a California Rhône diehard. After one sip of this deep-ruby stunner, he was amazed. “The structure of old-school Tablas Creek with the freshness of modern Ojai,” he said, shaking his head. “Perfect mix of Old World and New. I’ve never tasted anything like it.”
