Having rented out Château Miraval to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in 2008, its owner Tom Bove bought Bomont de Cormeil, a small estate at 550m in the far north of Provence. The climate reminded Bove of Côte-Rôtie, so he replanted the estate with Viognier and Syrah across 7ha. For this wine, Viognier grapes were lightly pressed, with vinification conducted partly in new French oak barrels, and the wine only lightly fined and clarified by natural sedimentation before bottling. Elizabeth Gabay MW: Deliciously perfumed, rich and weighty. Lavender minerality, fine acidity. Mouthwatering and fragrant. Natasha Hughes MW: Opulent, heady. Apricot, ginger and lemongrass. Oak isn't overdone. Creamy texture, nicely balanced, with good varietal typicity. A rousing finish. Joanna Simon: Peach and freesia aromas with vanilla oak. Fresh, mouth filling palate lifted by oak spice, orange blossom and nicely tuned acidity. Balanced.
