About: Hold up, give this guy some room to breath. Incredible red from the Cotes Catalanes region, a 95/5 blend of Carignan and Grenache from vines between 70 and 100 years old. Cyril's wines under Clos du Rouge Gorge have a cult following and he is one of the most respected names in winemaking. Expect a lot of layers here, dark fruit, leather and tobacco, earthiness and herbs galore. We love old vine Carignan, and this is one of the best.
