Tasting notes
We finished the tasting with an older vintage of the la Ciaude. Like the 2013, the 2010 Minervois la Ciaude comes from a single parcel of rocky, clay soils and old vines of Carignan, Syrah and Grenache. Deep, rich and textured, with superb concentration in its raspberry, violets and mineral-laced style, it opens up beautifully in the glass, has excellent mid-palate depth, medium to full-bodied richness and a seamless texture. Slightly deeper and richer than the 2013, yet not quite as polished or pure, this beauty is still youthful, and will continue to drink nicely through 2022.

About the producer
Anne Gros is better known for her estate in Vosne-Romanée, as is her partner Jean-Paul Tollot for his family’s Domaine Tollot-Beaut in Chorey-lès-Beaune. Beyond Burgundy, however, the duo makes some impressive wine in Cazelles in the Minervois, working with higher-altitude vineyards.
