Clos Centeilles Le C Minervois Red 2017
C is a rare red wine from the Languedoc in the Minervois appellation, made from the old Languedoc red grape varieties of the 18th century, now resurrected by the Clos Centeilles: Morrastel noir à jus blanc, Riveyrenc noir and Riveyrenc verdal, Œillade noire and Picpoul noir.
In this 2017 vintage, it offers a ruby red colour and aromas of red fruits, raspberry and cherry on the nose, with notes of liquorice and touches of garrigue herbs. On the palate, the substance is ample and greedy with a very fresh expression and a long fruity finish. It can be enjoyed from now until about 2026-2028, as an accompaniment to small game birds or braised red meats.
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 extinct grape varieties of the Languedoc: Riveyrenc Noir, Gris et Verdal, Œillade, Picardan, Picpoul Noir et Gris, Morrastel Noir à jus blanc, Arraignan, Terret Gris, Aramon Gris.
