Description
The 5 hectares of Grenache and Syrah, facing north on the hills above Cairanne, give Clos des Mourres Tandem a much fresher profile than the rest of the appellation. Ripe black fruits and gentle spices dominate the tasting from start to finish. Enveloping tannins balance a velvety, fresh palate, creating a harmonious structure that preserves the wine’s overall fluidity.
In the vineyard, in the cellar

The plots are situated between 200 and 280 metres above sea level, on predominantly clay-limestone soils.
