A true gustatory and olfactory discovery. Leave to decant to discover the full range of flavors.
To offer or to treat yourself with your eyes closed: a wine with a unique identity.

5 stars no less! Delicious in every way. Great value for money for La Clape. And a little thank-you note from the winemaker in the order, always appreciated!

A wonderful discovery thanks to TWIL... As soon as I received the bottles, finding a kind word made the experience pleasant. And I wasn't disappointed on opening: a powerful wine, but one that retains its subtlety.

opened 3 hours before (without shoulder)
dense ruby-red color, with almost tile-red cherry highlights.
Intense, rich nose of heather surrounded by spices and thyme. More tertiary notes of smoke and cold tobacco, a hint of menthol and alcohol (14.5°).
round attack. Velvety body, smooth tannins. Rich (perhaps a little too rich), broader than long. Prune, candied black fruit. And smoky, toasty notes, with a hint of dried meat (not unpleasant).
The finish is a little short, leaving a slight dryness on the tongue. This is clearly a wine to enjoy with a meal - with a rich dish (couscous, cassoulet, roast lamb) - rather than on its own.Overall, it's not bad, you can feel the work but there's a little taste of unfinished business on the whole. And the alcohol is too noticeable. Domaine à suivre

A very powerful but pleasant wine with multiple aromas. You can clearly feel the sunshine from which the vines have benefited.
