" Another sure bet from the south of France, Languedoc La Clape Classique 2016, which comes from the estate owned by a former Château Lafite-Rothschild winemaker. The blend is 40% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre, aged in concrete vats for 18 months. It is full-bodied, concentrated and with a velvety texture, intense nuances of blueberry, black cherry and plum." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker) New from Languedoc!

La Clape
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2019 guide) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Éric Fabre is no novice: he first cut his teeth in the Médoc, as technical director for eight years at Lafite-Rothschild. In 2001, he moved to the Mediterranean with his wife Christine, then his son Vianney, on the Massif de la Clape, an area already cultivated by the Romans and bathed in sunshine 300 days a year. The grapes are harvested by hand, meticulously sorted and the entire production is bottled on the estate. Powerful reds are produced here, but the château's speciality is undoubtedly its whites, one of the most original crus in the Languedoc, dominated by Bourboulenc.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2019 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2019) Awarded wines (Wines from this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
On the nose, fragrances of laurel, rosemary, eucalyptus and marmalade-like red fruit; on the palate, a warm, dense profile, underpinned by firm tannins.
About the domain :
Éric Fabre, after a long career as technical director at Château Lafite-Rothschild in the Médoc, settled in La Clape. This terroir was already covered with vines in the time of Julius Caesar, and he has been working to develop it since 2002. The vineyard covers 42 hectares.

Note and review by M. THIERRY N. Published on 23/04/2019
Good value for money for this unpretentious wine. Lots of black fruit on the palate. Has not yet digested its alcohol. A year or two more and it will be perfect. Roussillon confirms that their wines need a little ageing to express themselves fully.
