Clos Marie Métairies Du Clos Pic Saint Loup, 2023

Clos Marie’s Métairies du Clos is a distinctive red from Pic Saint-Loup, one of the Languedoc’s most expressive and sought-after appellations. The wine combines the region’s Mediterranean warmth with the freshness and structure provided by the area’s elevated, limestone-rich landscape, making it an elegant alternative to heavier southern French reds.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour, the 2023 vintage opens with aromas of ripe red and dark berries, wild herbs, violet and subtle spice. On the palate, it is supple yet energetic, with flavours of blackberry, plum and raspberry supported by fine, polished tannins and a refreshing mineral character. A savoury, gently peppery finish adds complexity. It can be enjoyed young for its vibrant fruit, but should develop additional depth over the next several years when properly stored.

Production
The wine reflects the distinctive terroir of Pic Saint-Loup, where Mediterranean sunshine, limestone soils and cooler conditions from the surrounding hills help preserve freshness. Clos Marie is known for working organically and with a strong focus on vineyard health and low-intervention winemaking. The fruit is carefully selected and harvested at optimal ripeness before fermentation and maturation designed to preserve the purity of the fruit, aromatic detail and natural balance of the vintage.

Food & Serving
Serve at 15–17°C, giving the wine a little time to open in the glass. Decanting for around 30 minutes is recommended when serving it young, particularly alongside grilled lamb, roast poultry, duck, herb-crusted pork or hearty vegetable dishes such as ratatouille, lentils and roasted aubergine. Its Mediterranean character also makes it a natural partner for dishes seasoned with thyme, rosemary, garlic or black pepper.

Producer
Clos Marie is the estate of winemaker Christophe Peyrus, one of the figures closely associated with the rise in quality and reputation of Pic Saint-Loup. Based in the northern Languedoc, the domaine has earned recognition for expressive, terroir-driven wines made with respect for nature and a restrained cellar approach. Its cuvées are valued for combining the generosity of the Mediterranean with the freshness, finesse and savoury complexity that distinguish the finest wines of the appellation.
