"The work of the plant on the stalk, the fruit and the balance make this a real mealtime wine".
Like the small piles of stones known as "Clapas", this wine generously reveals its mineral character. Its fresh, fruity nose is dominated by Syrah. With its clean, silky structure, this cuvée reveals a fine, elegant palate. A must-have!

Les Clapas gives up nothing in velvety elegance and sapidity.
About the domain :
Located in the north-western Terrasses du Larzac, in the beautiful area of Pégairolles de l'Escale and Lauroux, this 20-hectare estate has been owned by Julien and Delphine Zernott since 2003. The vineyard comprises some fifty terraces on limestone scree, with a high proportion of very old vines. This terroir is in good hands with this talented and determined couple. While the whites confirm their great elegance, all the reds presented this year are of the highest order, graceful, with exemplary tactile management and ageing.
