Les Clavelles 2016
Les Clavelles 2016
AOP Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The “Les Clavelles” wine is named after a plot of pure grenache on the western slope of the famous Crau plateau. It all began by simply observing the equilibrium of the location, tasting its grapes, and observing the abundance of this corner of the vineyard. The grenache finds balance here, forgetting its strong character to reveal delicacy and finesse while asserting its full-bodied southern character. “Les Cavelles” should be savored alone to appreciate its entirety.
Ruby red color with garnet border. The nose is a blend of strawberry, sweet spices and sandalwood. Very complex and fine, the wine surprises with its delicacy and personality. Definitely a racy wine, fresh, whose tannic qualities rarely meet.
