Description
The Rancio Ambré from Domaine Le Clot de l'Origine is an exceptional Maury, a blend of Grenache Gris, Grenache Blanc and Macabeu. 30 days’ maceration, 60 months in barrels. Aromas of bitter orange, saffron, praline, curry and a few oxidative notes: splendid! … The palate shines with its complexity, an elegant astringency and a reasonable sweetness. The finish is impressive; it develops smoky notes. An incredible pairing with a tarte tatin or crème brûlée.
