Tasting note Clos del Rey
Impressive Roussillon. Seductive scent of ripe blackberry and blueberry complemented by nuances of black olive, leather and licorice. Powerful, full and creamy in taste with firm, polished tannins and perfectly interwoven acids. Lasts for a very long time. Powerful, full-bodied red wine to enjoy on its own or to serve with hearty (game) dishes. Drink from 4 years old; at least 10 years after harvest.
Description
The Clos del Rey is the top wine from the cult domain of the same name of father and son Montagné. Their winery is located in the heart of Maury, which is traditionally known for its fortified sweet wines. Clos del Rey, on the other hand, has gained fame in recent years with its excellent quality dry red Roussillon wines.
This has everything to do with the fact that Jacques and Julien put quality above all else. Although they own no less than 50 hectares of vineyards, the majority of the grapes are sold to a local cooperative. They make their wines exclusively from their 8 hectares of the very best plots.
Their prestige cuvée is made from predominantly Carignan supplemented with Grenache from no less than 130 year old vines. The grape plants grow at an altitude of about 300 meters, amid the well-known southern French garrigue vegetation. The yields are extremely low: between 12 and 17 hectoliters per hectare.
After the manual harvest, the wine ferments spontaneously, after which the wine matures further in French oak barriques. However, the emphasis is not on the wood influence, which gives the wine a beautiful balance between fruit and structure. A beautiful wine not to be missed, with an unprecedented concentration! Be quick, because availability is limited.
