Clos Centeilles Le Clos Minervois La Livinière Red 2017
Le Clos 2017 is a beautiful and rare red wine from Languedoc in the Minervois La Livinière appellation, classified as a cru since 1999, produced by the Clos Centeilles from a blend of Mourvèdre, Syrah and Grenache for a third of each.
It offers a deep, intense colour, with purplish reflections. On the nose, aromas of fruit, spices and dried flowers dominate while the palate offers a racy texture, all in finesse, very ripe tannins and a surprisingly velvety finish.
After almost ten years of storage in the cellar, this wine offers perfect maturity and will go very well with a piece of beef, grilled or roasted, thrush skewers, pigeon fillet or a cheese platter. It can be kept for another good ten years or more.
Find the wines of Clos Centeilles on sale at La Bouteille Dorée, an estate led by Cécile Delucchi and her mother Patricia Boyer-Domergue, two generations of committed winemakers who are reviving the great wines of the Minervois and the rare and forgotten grape varieties of the Languedoc such as the Riveyrenc Noir, the Œillade or the Picpoul Noir
