CLOS MARIE - L'Olivette - Pic Saint Loup 2018
Le Clos Marie is located in Languedoc, within the Pic-Saint-Loup appellation. The wine estate was created in 1995 by Christophe Peyrus and Françoise Julien, his wife. They inherited plots of vine from Françoise's grandmother, Marie Julien, who gave her name to the estate. The twenty-hectare vineyard is cultivated using biodynamic farming. They have planted numerous indigenous grape varieties, while retaining the traditional Languedoc grape varieties.
L’Olivette is a blend of Grenache (60%), Syrah (30%) and Cinsault (10%), planted on old olive groves and harvested manually. The harvest is partially destemmed and then put into vat for a long period with pumping over. The aging lasts one winter, in barrels.
Grape varieties: 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Cinsault
