🏰 The 2021 Clos Marie Metairies du Clos Vieilles Vignes is an organic Pic Saint-Loup wine from old vines (over 60 years old), expressing the southern notes of ripe fruit, spices, and garrigue with incredible complexity and elegance. This wine is a blend of Carignan, Grenache, and Syrah, with Carignan often being dominant, grown on clay-limestone soils. Vinification involves partial destemming, long maceration, pigeage, and 18 months aging in barrels. 【It has a deep purple robe.

The structure is marked by a well-elaborated tannic framework, offering a pleasantly crunchy sensation, with a long and well-balanced finish. Other notes include black fruit, animal notes, and a smoky, spicy finish.】 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing: This characterful Languedoc red would be excellent with Cantonese roast pork belly, or a rich braised duck with taro.
