Description
The 2017 Rancio Tuilé from Domaine Le Clot de l'Origine is an exceptional Maury made from old Grenache vines. 30 days’ maceration, 60 months in barrels. The intensely aromatic nose combines candied dried fruit, mild spices, prunes and figs… magnificent! On the palate, the sweetness is perfectly balanced by a surprising freshness, a velvety texture and silky tannins. Hints of nuts and dried fruit on the finish.
