Les Clos Perdus - Cuvée 111 2013

Les Clos Perdus - Cuvée 111 2013

15,5/20

RVF

(Notes vintage 2012)

The first cuvée produced by Clos Perdus, 111 has since evolved and found its own identity. This blend of southern grape varieties gives the wine a distinctive structure: Carignan for freshness, Grenache for richness on the palate, Mourvèdre for intensity and complexity. A cuvée balanced between acidity and ripe fruit extraction.

About the domain :

Paul Old cultivates these old vines between Corbières and Roussillon biodynamically. The minimalist approach in the cellar produces some highs (Prioundo and L'Extrême, in white) but also some lows, with gas saturation in certain cuvées and an occasional lack of clarity. However, these wines know how to age and benefit from aeration.
