“Rearranged my inner pantheon in the way that truly great wine can”
Andrew Jefford 2008on La Pèira
The 2012 Terrasses du Larzac La Pèira is similar in style, with lively and fresh cassis, black raspberry, graphite, licorice and cedar notes flowing to a medium to full-bodied, profile on the palate. Pure, focused and nicely concentrated, enjoy it over the coming 10–12 years.
Wine Advocate 94–96/100
Mid ruby. Very different from the previous vintages – and I suspect not just because it is younger. Broader and more floral and transparent somehow. A real joker with none of the intensity of the previous vintages but with lots of sinewy appeal. Cool and fresh and with lots of freshness. To be drunk sooner than some?

“Make no mistake about it, this is a very special wine
made on a very special estate”Jancis Robinson October 2012
on La Peira’s Matissat
In the same mould, with an overall elegant, seamless feel, the 2012 Terrasses du Larzac Las Flors de La Pèira gives up ample blackberry, pepper, crushed flowers, resinous herbs and hints of licorice in it’s medium-bodied, nicely textured and balanced personality. It should drink well on release and evolve gracefully through 2022.

10 LA PÈIRA 112014 OFFERING
Moving to their entry level, Cinsault-based release, the 2013 Terrasses du Larzac Les Obriers de la Pèira (65% Cinsault and 35% Carignan aged half in oak tanks and half in 600-liter barrels) is perfumed and complex, with plenty of sweet kirsch, exotic pepper, spices and leatherstyled aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied, lightly textured and elegant, with a seamless profile, it should easily be an outstanding example of this cuvee and drink nicely for 5–8 years.

“Easily one of the top estates in all of France”Wine Advocate Issue #212 April 2014

“Now, thanks to producers like La Pèira, Languedoc has Terrasses du Larzac, which is quickly becoming a source of phenomenal (and
increasingly rare) value and premium wine. Words don’t do it justice...The wines are consistently fantastic vintage-to-vintage, and you can see
why we consider this a ‘First Growth’ of Southern France!”
Andrew Mcmurray, vice-president of Zachys Wine and Liquor, founded in 1944
“In just a few years, La Pèira en Damaisèla has established itself as one of the most groundbreaking properties of the
Languedoc-Roussillon. Created in 2004, the property now ranks alongside – and in some eyes even above – the best of the best
in Bordeaux and Burgundy.”
Bertrand Rougier – Le Classement des Meilleurs Vins de France 2014 (Lafont Presse)
“The texture and the depth of flavor are amazing. It reminded me at different moments of 1989 La Mission Haut-Brion, Fattoria Galardi
2004 Terre di Lavoro and 1990 Henri Bonneau Reserve des Célestins.”
Jay McInerney – Wall Street Journal

The 2013 Deusyls de La Pèira Blanc, which was tasted out of barrel, is a blend of 55% Roussanne, 40% Viognier and 5% Marsanne that’s aging all in smaller barrels. Offering up gorgeous apple, citrus blossom and ample minerality in its medium-bodied, fresh and pure profile, it has both freshness and richness, with beautiful length. Enjoy it over the coming 3–5 years.
