Description
Domaine Le Clot de l'Origine treats us to a ‘Soif de Plaisir’ cuvée with a profile that is at once fruity, floral and mineral. Red fruits take centre stage, with hints of undergrowth and a lovely floral touch. The palate confirms the elements detected on the nose, with a certain richness. And there is always that mineral tension which ensures the wine is utterly delicious. It will be just as at home with a grilled steak as with vegetables cooked à la plancha.
