Clos des Cazaux Gigondas La Tour Sarrasine 2017
70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre
South facing slopes at 450 metre of altitude. Heavy broken limestone soils with some sand and clay.
Intense garnet in colour. Exuberant nose of black fruits, wild herbs and graphite. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, the sweet ripe fruit is beautifully balanced by a lovely minerality that is derived from the limestone soils. The tannins are finely grained and the finish is excellent. Best enjoyed after 4 years and can drunk up to 10 years from the vintage date.

Producer profile
Domaine Clos des Cazaux has been growing wine for five generations and is based on two families, the Vaches and the Archimbauds. The domaine is now run by two brothers, Jean-Michel and Frédéric Vache. Their ancestor, Gabriel Archimbaud was the first to bottle wine in Vacqueyras. Gabriel created Le Clos des Cazaux in 1936. Today the domaine cultivates 48 ha (122 acres), of which 24 ha are in Vacqueyras, 20 ha are in Gigondas and 4 ha are in Côtes du Rhône. The Gigondas terroir is located on the small section of the appellation that is south facing which brings riper, bigger fruit than is generally found in the other wines of the appellation. Cazaux’s Gigondas soils are very high in limestone content which underpin a great mineral edge to their two cuvées. The Prestige cuvée made from old vines is partially aged in oak which provides additional complexity without over-powering the expression of terroir in the wine.
