Clos du Calvaire Les Terres de la Crau Rouge 2022
The nose is rich and expressive, offering concentrated dark fruits - particularly black cherries and ripe plums - complemented by classic garrigue herbs, black pepper, and a pronounced mineral character that speaks to La Crau's distinctive soils. The aromatic profile shows both the generosity of the warm 2022 vintage and the natural complexity of this site.
On the palate, the wine displays impressive concentration while maintaining energy. The texture is full and harmonious, with well-integrated tannins providing sophisticated structure. The terroir of La Crau contributes additional depth and minerality, while the warmth of 2022 brings beautiful ripeness. The finish is long and detailed, with waves of fruit, herbs, and stony mineral notes that continue to unfold.
This wine brilliantly captures both the noble character of La Crau's terroir and the generous nature of the 2022 vintage.
