"Great wine!"
An exceptional parcel absolutely unique in Languedoc, Clos du Pic is planted with Syrah and Mourvèdre. Produced at low yields, this cuvée delivers concentrated, complex aromas of red and black fruits, spices and toasty notes. A wine for laying down, with a generous mouthfeel and silky tannins, where density, elegance and sweetness are in perfect harmony.
