Les Clavelles 2021
Les Clavelles 2021
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 purple border. The nose is complex: notes of ripe dark berries (blackcurrant), flower (peony) and herbal scents (laurel). Delicate on the palate, but also powerful, the wine reveals its roudness with cherry jam tones along with liquorice and ‘garrigue’ flavours. Lots of finess on the finish: the elegant tannins underligne the purity of the fruit. Atypical Grenache, Les Clavelles reveals its terroir, when forgetting its powerful character and catching all the elegance of Château La Nerthe.
