La Pèira (Terrasses du Larzac) is a wine domaine in the South of France

About La Pèira (English) | À Propos La Pèira (Français)
‘This estate aims to rival the great Negly for making the top wines in Languedoc’ Robert Parker

“Terrasses du Larzac is a mineral playground with an least five internal terroirs. After my trip, I know a little more than I did, but it’s wonderfully complex and there’s lots more to learn. Mas Jullien, Grange des Pères and Mas de Daumas Gassac have been variously responsible for most of the reputation of the area so far, but there are others on the way up, most notably La Pèira en Damaisèla (which, like Mas Jullien, lies near Jonquières)...I try to avoid the kind of macho superlatives which can devalue the currency of wine criticism, but the efforts which the team at La Pèira have made with the 2005, 2006 and 2007 vintages really did “blow me away.” (Andrew Jefford - www.andrewjefford.com)

'The flagship wine from this new venture is easily going to be the next great global cult wine. Think Clos Erasmus or Masseto; that's the level of quality that this wine brings! Dense, rich and explosive, with layer after layer of flavor and complexity. Ripe, but never over-the-top, this stunning effort should easily last 25 to 30 years.' (Wine Library)

‘New Neighbors to La Grange des Pères and Daumas Gassac - Be on the lookout for these wines.’ (David Schildknecht - Wine Advocate)

The Languedoc - By Andrew Jefford (Wine Society newsletter 2008)


(c/o www.AndrewJefford.com)

Stones, wind, silence.

I remember dusk in the Corbières, standing by a road on the way to Embres et Castelmaure, looking out into the geological scrapyard of crags and boulders. The scene was as lonely as Arizona: no car would be through befor… Continue

To new Wine Friends at La Piera, I am glad to see you have interest in the Green Wine Summit. We had a very successful summit earlier this month with great feedback on the need for and exceptional presentations on sustainability issues across the board. The management team was very pleased with the turnout and the execution of the event. Next year's Green Wine Summit scheduled for December 1-2. I am posting the event today.
