Clos del Rey - Le Clos del Rey 2012

The Clos del Rey “Clos del Rey” is the winery’s flagship wine. The rocky, isolated, mountaintop vineyard that produces this wine is over 300 meters in altitude.  This is the highest vineyard in Maury, and its oldest vines are in excess of 130 years old.     These factors combine to create a wine that pushes the limits of extraction while maintaining a balance, and almost deceptively elegance in its finish.  The nose is filled with dense black fruit, and intense garrique spice.  On the palate, mouth-coating, wild briary fruits, mix with black pepper, and herbs de Provence.  The finish is extremely long, and surprisingly elegant for a wine of this power and intensity.  Perfect for lamb, cassoulet, and roast beef.            Only 200 cases produced
