IGP Méditerranée: Domaine Richeaume 'Tradition' Rouge 2022

The rich, red cuvée 'Tradition' from Domaine Richeaume is a long-standing Yapp favourite, blended (in this vintage) from 32% Syrah, 26% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Grenache and 5% Tempranillo. This organic IGP Méditerranée wine would be the perfect provençal pairing with roast leg of lamb studded with garlic and anchovies. This red 'Cuvée Tradition' is the signature wine of Sylvain Hoesch, son of Domaine Richeaume patron Henning, who started the vineyard in the shadow of Mont Saint-Victoire in 1972. It has briary, garrigue-berry aromas and a core of juicy, dark cassis fruit licked with notes of herbs and spices supported by a couch of silky tannins. It drinks beautifully on its youthful fruit but will readily support 5 to 10 years bottle age.A gifted and free-spirited winemaker, Sylvain, doesn't like being shackled by Gallic bureacracy and prefers to bottle his wine as humble 'IGP' rather than kowtow to the 'Institute Nationale des Appellations d'Origine'.
