Tasting notes:
It is a complex and multi-layered wine with a scent of cherries, dark berries and plums. In addition, there is a fine herbal aroma and spiciness. In the mouth it is very juicy and round with a more robust tannin structure.
About the wine:
‘Les Clos Perdus’ reflects the discovery of isolated old vine parcels ‘lost’ in the Haute Corbières and Vallée de l’Agly.
Hand harvested into small boxes with careful bunch sorting and selection. The grapes are then de-stemmed and pressed with 5% left as whole bunches for pressing. 3-4 days maceration then spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel. 21 days on the skins then basket pressed to remove the skins.
Aged for 9 months in stainless steel with no fining or filtration.
The wine is certified organic and biodynamic.
About the producer:
Inspired by the majesty of the old vines and the vast range of grape varieties, soils, climate and terrain; Les Clos Perdus was established in 2003 by Paul Old, Faith Wilson and Sturart Nix with 1.5 hectares of vines.
Now their holdings have increased to 20 hectares of organic and bodynamic vines.
