CLOS MARIE - Les Glorieuses - Pic Saint Loup 2017
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.
Les Glorieuses is a blend of equal parts Grenache and Syrah entirely harvested by hand. The harvest is partially destemmed and then macerated for a long time with regular punching down.
Grape varieties: 50% Grenache, 50% Syrah
