Producer : Clos del Rey
Region : France (France), Roussillon (France)
Bottle Per Case : 6 x 750 ml
"Inky black colored, the 2013 Côtes du Roussillon Villages L'Aragone is a smoking blend of 60% Carignan (from 80-year-old vines) and 40% Grenache that was brought up all in concrete tank. It has serious decadence and richness to go with lots of plum, blueberry, violets and licorice aromatics, full-bodied depth and plenty of underlying tannic grip. Made in a ripe, pedal-to-the-metal style, I suspect this will shed some baby fat by the time it hits a bottle, and it should have upward of a decade of overall longevity. There's a scant 2,500 bottles out there, and at the price, it's a steal."

Clos del Rey turns out fantastic wines that are rich, powerful and concentrated yet maintain stunning freshness. The vines of up to 120 years old are allowed to grow natural and untrained, in the old-fashioned way, known as the goblet or bush style. However, it is what lies beneath the vineyard that lends much of the character and complexity found in their wines. The winery resides on an abandoned iron mine imparting red and orange hues to the soils of Clos del Rey, this Iron also adds a soft minerality and silky mouthfeel to the wines.
They combine the meatiness of 'Rhône' varietals, with the elegance and refinement brought from their high altitude plots.
It's important to remember that taste is subjective, and personal preferences play a significant role.
