Côtes du Roussillon Villages - Tautavel Gardiés (Domaine) Clos des Vignes 2019

The wine

This cuvée is produced from grapes whose vines are planted on a clay-limestone terroir, which lends a fine minerality to the wine. The garnet robe, nose and palate are characterized by red fruit aromas. The finish is long, and this wine is characterized by a nice minerality. Jean Gardiès has limited the yields (25hl/ha) of his Grenache noir, Carignan, Syrah and Mourvèdre before raising them for a year and a half in barrels and demi-muids.

About the Producer Gardiés
