"The estate's eponymous cuvée
"Notes of cherry and blond tobacco, the palate is suave with a subtle spicy relief." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF) Cuvée Clos Centeilles shows all that the terroir of Cru Minervois-la-Livinière can express in a blend of predominantly Mourvèdre, complemented by Syrah- Grenache. The wine reveals itself with power and finesse. Complex, concentrated flavors on the nose and palate: camphorated, mentholated notes on a base of explosive black fruits. A harmonious wine, suave from the start, just superb!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Wine rated (guide 2021) 93/100
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
Notes of cherry and blond tobacco, the palate is suave with a subtle spicy relief.
About the domain :
This original estate, set in the poetic environment of the Causse de Siran, is run by Cécile Boyer-Domergue, assisted by her mother Patricia. Their wines are the result of exemplary probity, focused on the cultivation of rare or forgotten grape varieties. The fruit expression on the nose is always a little candied, while on the palate the wines display a rare elegance and great finesse of texture, especially the pure Cinsaults. The grand cuvées are only sold at their peak. The domaine produces a lovely dry white wine based on forgotten varieties: araignan blanc, riveyrenc blanc and gris, as well as a passerillé harvest, Erme, in the spirit of the "noble wines" once made in Minervois. The uniqueness and strength of this winemaking and memorial initiative are to be commended, as it provides a vital landmark not only for Minervois, but for the Languedoc region as a whole.
