"A blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 15% Carignan from near Maury, the 2017 Côtes du Roussillon Villages le Sabina saw only concrete prior to bottling. It features attractive aromas of crushed stone and ripe black cherries on the nose and is full-bodied and concentrated in the mouth, with those bold flavors underscored by fine-grained tannins, a strong schistous structure and tremendous length. This is a real beauty."

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.
