Clos du Causse - Minervois La Livinière 2017
2*Étoiles
Hachette
"The young Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre vines (15 years old) have produced a wine that is more elegant than powerful, with a rich nose of fresh black fruit, candy, and dried herbs. Full-bodied on the attack and lively on the palate, perfectly softened by a long aging in tanks (24 months), it delivers without reserve a very pleasant, luscious fruitiness, ready to enjoy immediately.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021). A success with great potential!

About the estate:
Guy Vanlancker, head of Domaine Combe Blanche, seized the opportunity to lease 1.5 hectares of young vineyards surrounded by the Causse plateau, located in the town of Félines, in the Minervois-la-Livinière region. The estate has been in the process of converting to organic farming since 2018.
