Les Clos Perdus - Cuvée 111 2013

Les Clos Perdus - Cuvée 111 2013

15,5/20

RVF

(2012 Vintage Notes)

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

Wine rated (2015 guide) 15.5/20 (2012 vintage) (Good wine)

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

Paul Old cultivates these old vines using biodynamic methods between Corbières and Roussillon. His minimalist approach in the cellar yields some high points (Prioundo and L’Extrême, white wines) but also some low points, with excessive carbonation in certain vintages and, at times, a lack of clarity. However, the wines age well, and aeration is beneficial for them.
