Gilles Troullier Cotes Catalanes Tandem 2015 - First Bottle

Reviews

92-94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - Read

Another terrific looking barrel sample is the 2015 Cotes Catalanes Tandem. Based on Grenache and Syrah brought up in demi-muids, it?s loaded with notions of blueberries, plums, violets and spring flowers. Full-bodied, structured and tannic, yet with thrilling purity, give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy through 2027.

About the Producer

A joint project between Gilles Trouiller and Jean-Louis Vera of Clos de la Serre in Maury, where Gilles consults, Tandem is a blend of Syrah and Grenache sourced from both men’s vineyards in the Agly valley.

Having labored for a decade in near anonymity at Domaine Bila-Haut,

Gilles Troullier, a native of the Rhône, and an expert in biodynamic

farming has been liberated from his contractual relationship with his

former employer. How a scattered four hectares of vines represented a

threat to a wine empire seems curious, but at least we can now give Gilles the attention he so rightfully deserves. His vineyards are located in the northern region of the Roussillon in a sub-zone formerly made famous by the fortified wine, Maury. As tastes have moved away from these sweeter styles of wine there was a brief moment when vineyards in the area were favorably priced – especially considering the range of terroirs: limestone, schist and granite, the elevation of the vineyards and the average age of the vines. This was the opportunity that brought Gilles Troullier to the Roussillon.
