Coteaux du Languedoc Les Métairies du Clos Vieilles Vignes Clos Marie - Christophe Peyrus et Françoise Julien 2011

The wine

Les Métairies du Clos Blanc is blended from grapes produced by old vines (around 60 years old) and cultivated at extremely low yields (approximately 12 hectolitres per hectare). The nose offers aromas of candied apricots with notes of sweet spice and almond and a delicate hint of wood. The palate strikes a skilful balance between creamy and acidic and is nicely fruity and rounded with a lingering finish. This wine pairs well with poultry, fish and shellfish.

About the Producer Clos Marie

Le Clos Marie is without doubt the Pic Saint-Loup's most beautiful domain, and among the most sought-after by switched-on connoisseurs. From their twenty or so hectares of vines, Christophe Peyrus and his wife Françoise Julien have achieved miracles since 1995. Their vines are biodynamically cultivated, with long, careful élevages. Each of their cuvées is very expressive, reflecting the full diversity of its terroir with its own highly individual style. The star of this already remarkable domain continues to rise. Definitely one to watch! Read more
