Clos des Centenaires - Cinsault Syrah 2017
Le Clos des Centenaires is located in the Costières-de-Nîmes appellation and covers 7 hectares of a hill of rolled pebbles Villafranchiens. Le Clos des Centenaires is owned by Luc Baudet and his wife Stéphanie. The soils are cultivated in natural grass with superficial plowing and special care given to the biodynamic compost that they prepare each year. Inputs are limited to natural products approved in organic farming, without pesticides.
The Cinsault-Syrah is a blend of these two grape varieties. Vinification takes place in concrete tanks. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts. The extraction is done by pumping over, and without punching down. The wine is aged in barrels, on its lees, then bottled at the Domaine.
Grape varieties: 60% Cinsault, 40% Syrah
