Les Clos de Paulilles 2007
Côte Vermeille, Roussillon, Sud de France, FranceAt 90 hectares of Les Clos de Paulilles is the largest vineyard in the Collioure/Banyuls appellation pushed up against the Spanish border. The steeply terraced site is planted to syrah, mourvèdre and grenache noir. Not all Languedoc wine is inexpensive but Paulilles over delivers at $35 with it spicy minerality and powerful savoury black fruit aromas. The slate soil seems to sharpen and clarify its bright black fruit, cinnamon, coffee, liquorice underbelly and mineral vanilla finish. Sophisticated, long and yet it is still a baby.Tasted: 10 May 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml |
