Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep, dark ruby tone with impressive concentration. The bouquet is intense and layered, offering ripe dark berries, black cherry, Mediterranean herbs, leather, spice, and earthy, garrigue-like nuances. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with concentrated dark fruit, savoury depth, and fine, persistent tannins. There is often a beautiful balance between richness and freshness, with a long, complex finish that suggests excellent ageing potential. This is a wine that can evolve gracefully for many years in bottle.

Production
Clos des Cistes comes from the Languedoc, where warm Mediterranean conditions are tempered by the influence of altitude and the cooling effect of the surrounding landscape. The estate is known for low-yielding vines and careful, artisanal vineyard work, with harvesting done by hand to preserve fruit quality. Vinification is traditionally restrained, allowing the character of the terroir and the vintage to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with slow-cooked lamb, beef, game, wild mushroom dishes, and rich Mediterranean cuisine such as roast herbs and olives. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least an hour to allow its aromatics and structure to fully open.
