A protege and disciple of the famed Domaine L'Anglore, Romain Le Bars follows a similar path of pursuing deep, complex natural wines from the Rhône. With his small holdings of Grenache and Syrah, Romain's early vintages reveal heaps of promise and are quickly becoming highly sought-after for collectors.
Romain's first solo vintage was in 2018, following a 7-year stint with L'Anglore in Tavel. You could say he was impacted just a bit, as he's carried on the same traditions in his own, small vineyard - all of 1.5 hectares. From this tiny plot of Grenache and Syrah, Romain crafts wines of grace and intensity, his vines impeccably maintained so that he can use as little (or no) sulfur as possible.
Depending on the varietal and vintage, Romain will either direct-press his fruit or utilize carbonic maceration to create the style he thinks the grapes require. It's not color he's after but taste - what might seem red to some, others would call rosé, but they are all full of soul. In comparison to L'Anglore the wines are brighter and filled with a tension and energy that is exciting and rewards patience.
