"The estate's eponymous vintage"
"Notes of cherry and blond tobacco, the palate is smooth with a subtly spicy finish." (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF) The Clos Centeilles cuvée showcases everything that the Minervois-la-Livinière terroir has to offer in a blend dominated by Mourvèdre and complemented by Syrah and Grenache. The wine reveals itself with power and finesse. Complexity of concentrated flavors on the nose and palate: camphor and menthol notes supported by explosive black fruit. A harmonious wine, immediately smooth, simply superb!

About the estate:
This unique property, located in the poetic setting of the Causse de Siran, is run by Cécile Boyer-Domergue, with the continued support of her mother Patricia. Their wines are the result of exemplary integrity, focused on the cultivation of rare or forgotten grape varieties. The fruit expression on the nose is always slightly candied, while on the palate the wines display a rare elegance and great finesse of texture, particularly the pure Cinsault wines. The great vintages are only sold at their peak. The estate produces a lovely dry white wine made from forgotten varieties: Araignan Blanc, Riveyrenc Blanc and Gris, as well as a passerillé wine, Erme, in the spirit of the "noble wines" once produced in Minervois. We must applaud the uniqueness and strength of this approach, both winemaking and memorial, which offers an important benchmark not only for Minervois, but for the entire Languedoc region.
