Michel Smith’s blog article on “Les 5 du Vin”. September 8, 2011

What has become of that wine, that everyone, including me, referred to as the famous “grand cru” from Languedoc and Roussillon alltogether?

Does it still exist? Grand cru? Yes I would like some..

“The first of my two favorite reds of the tasting was the 2005 Prieure de Saint-Jean de Bebian blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre.  The wine has characteristics of darker fruits and berries, somewhat bold spice, and a hint of chocolate, with a big presence yet a very smooth texture and nice balance of acidity and tannin.  I’d say this is a wine best for cooler months and for pairing with hearty dishes.”
