CLEF DE L’ENCLAVE CÔTES DU RHÔNE RED VIEILLES VIGNES
VINEYARDS AND GRAPE VARIETIES
Made from the oldest parcels of Grenache and Syrah in the heart of the southern Rhone Valley. The soils are of limestone clay, mostly sloping with surface round pebbles.
WINEMAKING AND AGEING
The grapes are picked at optimum maturity. Traditional winemaking after total destemming, with over 15 days in vat with regular pumping over.
TASTING NOTES
Deep ruby red with garnet highlights. A plethora of ripe red fruit on the nose, including blackcurrant and black cherry. Smooth in the mouth with a power that is balanced by the velvet of the texture with its softly spicy aromas.

A blend of Grenache and Syrah from selected parcels of limestone clay with sandy subsoils.

CLEF DE L’ENCLAVE CÔTES DU RHÔNE WHITE
VINEYARDS AND GRAPE VARIETIES
Made from White Grenache, Viognier and Roussanne, our iconic white grapes from the southern Rhone Valley. Soils of limestone clay, on slopes with surface round pebbles.
WINEMAKING AND AGEING
These white grapes are picked at dawn to preserve all their potential, than gently pressed to avoid oxidation and conserve the freshness and complexity of their aromas. Fermentation takes place with selected yeasts under meticulous temperature control. Some of the fine lees are retained for additional smoothness and finesse.
TASTING NOTES
A magnificent golden wine with notes of white peach and apricot on the nose. Juicy yellow fruit and white flowers offer great freshness in the mouth, with a long, smooth finish on notes of exotic fruit and vanilla.
