From a three-hectare parcel Brusset purchased in 2012, the 2018 Rasteau La Bastide is a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre. A fifth of the blend is aged in oak but in three-year-old barrels. Leather and garrigue notes accent raspberry fruit on the nose, while the palate is medium to full-bodied, velvety and expansive. I find it a bit less complex than the Cairanne Vieilles Vignes, but it's still outstanding juice.
