Blessed wine!

Not quite holy wine but you get the feeling it must be good when buying your wine from this Vintner who's degustation takes place in a former chapel.
My friend Eero and I were there to taste and collect the latest wine produced by David Fayet at Mas de Fadan in Les Grands Clements, a tiny Hameau near Villars, just out side Saint Saturnin Les Apt.
David & I discuss the vintage, picked  in 2009, kept in Oak and bottled this year.
Just 4000 bottles are produced and can be kept for between 3 and 7 years.
Approved and deal done! 
Fortunately whilst we were there we bought the last of the 2010 Rose. 12000 bottles Sold out!
Time to load the car! 
One of many private vineyards we buy from and that we can recommend for tastings and to buy and enjoy whilst on holiday here in the Luberon.
