Clos Aguilem - Terrasses du Larzac 2016
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
It's hard not to be charmed by this wine. Made from four grape varieties, mainly Carignan, it is a true Languedoc wine, adorned with a dark purple color. Intense aromas of red fruits and spices rise from the glass: redcurrant, grenadine, cinnamon, and vanilla. Behind a lovely freshness, the palate reveals a dense and powerful structure built on velvety tannins; we find jammy fruit and woody notes, joined by cocoa and licorice in a long and smooth finish."

About wine:
It's hard to remain indifferent to its charms. With four grape varieties, including a majority of Carignan, it is a true Languedoc wine, adorned with a dark purple color. The glass releases intense aromas of red fruits and spices: redcurrant, grenadine, cinnamon, and vanilla. Behind a lovely freshness, the palate reveals a dense and powerful structure built on velvety tannins; there are notes of jammy fruit and wood, joined by cocoa and licorice in a long and smooth finish.
About the estate:
In 2015, with financial help from family and friends, agricultural engineer and oenologist Jean-Charles Auffret created this 7-hectare estate, whose plots, currently in conversion to organic farming, are spread across four communes (Saint-Saturnin-de-Lucian, Saint-Guiraud, Ceyras, and Arboras) and offers a beautiful diversity of soils allowing for varied adaptations.
