Clos des Nines - Grès de Montpellier L'Orée 2019
16/20
Bettane & Desseauve
L’Orée captures the aromatic essence of the surrounding scrubland, with notes of blackberries and red berries complemented by smoky and chocolatey undertones. A true terroir wine, it charms on the palate with a silky, full-bodied attack. The floral finish is refreshing and crisp.

About the estate:
Le Clos des Nines is located in Fabrègues, in the Hérault region. Isabelle Mangeart manages this nine-hectare estate, which specializes in wine and olive production. Following a cool 2015 and a warmer 2016, the 2017 vintage of L’Orée strikes a superb balance between the full-bodied texture provided by the grapes’ high ripeness and a welcome freshness.

About the estate:
In 2002, Isabelle Mangeart, a sales manager at a multinational food company, decided to change careers and built Clos des Nines from the ground up; the name is a nod to her three daughters (nines, in Occitan). The 10-hectare vineyard, a single contiguous plot, is nestled amid the garrigue and olive groves between Sète and Montpellier.
