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 an enticing nose of fresh black fruits, candy, and dried herbs. Full-bodied on the attack and lively on the palate—perfectly softened by a long aging period in tanks (24 months)—it delivers, without reservation, a very pleasant, luscious fruitiness that’s ready to enjoy right away.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2021). A success with great potential!

About the wine:
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 fruits, candy, and dried herbs. Full-bodied on the palate and invigorating, the wine—perfectly rounded by a long aging period in tanks (24 months)—delivers, without reservation, a very pleasant, luscious fruitiness that’s ready to enjoy right away.
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 Minervois-la-Livinière. The estate has been in the process of converting to organic farming since 2018.
