02. 2016 Domaine Cabirau Serge & Nicolas Maury Sec

After 27 years importing wine, HPS President Dan Kravitz took the plunge and purchased 13.5 acres of vineyard land in Roussillon. Named Cabirau after the vineyard’s original designation, the domaine lies on a hill below the famed Cathar fortress of Queribus. Planted to Grenache, it includes a prized 3.5 acre parcel of 60 year-old vines.
Named “SERGE & NICOLAS” after vigneron SergeSoulatge (who tends to Dan’s vines) and winemakerNicolas Burger of the VTV cooperative (of which Danis now a full-fledged member!)
