Vent d'Est is a red from the Cabardès appellation in the Languedoc, made from Syrah and Cabernet Franc. The aromas run to blackberry, blueberry, fresh truffle and Tonka bean, and the palate is fresh, with citrus zest and crushed pepper. Domaine de Cabrol began making it in 1995 to show the Montagne Noire terroir. The vines are 15 to 25 years old, the grapes grow at 350 meters, and no wood is used. The Syrah goes through a long carbonic maceration in concrete tanks, and the blend is assembled after about 10 months.
Domaine de Cabrol sits on the southern flank of the Montagne Noire, north of Carcassonne. The Carayol family has grown grapes here for generations, and Nicolas Carayol now runs the estate. About 20 of their 150 hectares are planted, in small parcels on broken rock, at the highest vineyards in Cabardès. That altitude lets them harvest in mid to late October.
