Deep garnet-purple colored. Zips out of the glass with electric notes of fresh raspberries and red currants, giving way to hints of lavender, wild thyme, and wet slate. The medium-bodied palate delivers impressive intensity with layers of red berries and mineral, framed by fine-grained tannins and great tension, finishing long and fragrant.
Juicy, with tension and vibrancy, you see the impact of the limestone in the wine, real precision, lovely plum and damson, cherry pit and white tea, austere on the finish. 50% new oak for ageing. 3.44 pH. 25hl/h yield, No chaptilisation, no saignee, no de-acidification.
The 2024 Clos Lunelles shows how well this site can adapt to the challenges of a rainy growing season. Bright and punchy, with terrific persistence, Clos Lunelles has a lot to offer. Dark red/purplish fruit, spice, blood orange and new leather are beautifully woven together. Clean saline notes shape the vibrant finish. The 2024 is on the lighter side, but its balance is impeccable.
