Domaine Le Clos des Cazaux Gigondas Prestige 2021
50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre
The Syrah vines are located on drought sensitive, clayey slopes giving very small yields and thus very concentrated wine. The Grenache and Mourvèdre vines grow on limestone scree slopes at an altitude of 300m bringing minerals and freshness to the wine.
Intense ruby colour.. An expressive and complex bouquet that opens up with notes of liquorice as well as coffee, cocoa, wild red berry fruit and hints of wild herbs. Concentrated and rich on the palate with powerful and elegant tannins. A harmonious finish with lasting aromas of spices, liquorice and red fruits. This wine can be savoured young to enjoy its fruitiness, its flattering aromas of wood and its elegant tannins. After 6-7 years, the wooden notes will fade and give way to rounded tannins, spices and preserved prune aromas.

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.
