The 2022 Cassagne et Vitailles Terrasses du Larzac Clas Mani is a vibrant expression from this Languedoc jewel. While specific reviews for the 2022 vintage are still emerging, the Clas Mani is consistently crafted as a signature wine from the Terrasses du Larzac appellation, primarily from Syrah, Carignan, and Grenache, aged in Chassin barrels. The unique terroir of sandstone and calcareous clay contributes to low yields and concentrated berries, promising a wine of depth and character. Expect a youthful wine with potential for complexity. Tasting notes for this range often reveal earthy undertones, with hints of leather and mushroom, complemented by black and red fruit notes like black cherry, cherry, and dried strawberry. Spices such as licorice, cinnamon, pepper, clove, and a touch of oak can also be present. For the 2022, anticipate fresh, vibrant fruit balanced by the characteristic spice and earthy notes. Food pairing suggestions: This versatile red pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes like cassoulet or other meat stews. It's also a great match for pasta dishes and veal. Event suggestions: Perfect for a sophisticated dinner party or a special meal where a wine with a unique terroir expression is appreciated. While enjoyable in its youth, this wine has the structure to evolve beautifully with some cellaring. 【Devotion to sublimating the identity of a unique terroir】.
