Domaine de la Tête Noire - Vacqueyras La Clapière 2013
89-90/100
Robert Parker
“La Clapière 2013 is a traditional blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, aged primarily in tanks and 10% in barrels. It offers elegant notes of black fruit, violet, and wild herbs that complement a round, beautifully concentrated (especially for this vintage) and balanced palate. In a vintage where most producers struggled to soften the tannins, this estate has succeeded admirably.” (Wine Advocate 2015 - Jeb Dunnuck)
