Clos PrésentCariatide Vin de France rouge
A spicy and fruity wine, powerful, with an enveloping mouth, the tannins are very supple.
To be decanted, (or even shaken!) because there is residual CO2, for an optimal tasting.
Clos Présent
Albas (Languedoc)
Like many stories, the creation of the domain begins with a crush. After organic viticultural/oenological training, I discovered the village of Villeneuve les Corbières by chance, where I very quickly decided to settle down to create my estate. I find Syrah, Carignan, Grenache, Cinsault, Muscat and Macabeu vines for rent there as well as a cellar to renovate in the magnificent village of Albas a few kilometers away. Since then, I have been growing organically (certification in progress since 2023), without a tractor, these vines planted between 1947 and 1980. Treatments, pruning, disbudding, clearing, harvesting, everything is done by hand and on my back, despite the slopes of the hills! In the cellar, I work my wines gently, in a two-story cellar which allows me to draw by gravity. The macerations are carried out in plots and then assembled. Aging is carried out in stainless steel vats or barrels depending on the profile of the wines. I use very few oenological products, and when necessary I add a hint of sulphite, some of my vintages are made with grapes and that's it! My goal is to restore this rich and vibrant terroir as closely as possible, for expressive but very digestible and fresh wines, which I hope will delight you!
