The first cuvée produced by Clos Perdus, 171 has since evolved and found its own identity. This blend of southern grape varieties gives the wine a distinctive structure: Carignan for freshness, Grenache for richness on the palate, Mourvèdre for intensity and complexity. A cuvée balanced between acidity and ripe fruit extraction.

Expert opinion

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Rated wine (guide 2021) 89/100 (Vintage 2018)

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

Paul Old cultivates these old vines between Corbières and Roussillon biodynamically. The minimalist approach in the cellar produces some highs (Prioundo and L'Extrême, in white) but also some lows, with gas saturation in certain cuvées and an occasional lack of clarity. The wines do, however, know how to age, and benefit from aeration.

A very well-made wine with a complex nose of black fruit and fig. The acidity on the finish lifts the palate.
