The Bee-Side Grenache from Domaine of the Bee

 Justin Howard-Sneyd’s Domaine of the Bee is based on three small plots of old bush vines in Cathar country, deep in the south of France near the village of Maury. Normally, the wines are made in a rich, bold, opulent style, but with this new release, a Grenache, they’ve opted to aim for a more elegant style, because that’s what the vintage was giving them naturally. I really like it, and I love the label.
