Twenty years ago when the market for the fortified wines of Maury started to collapse, Jacques Montagne started to buy up the best old parcels of Grenache & Carignan he could find. He now has 50 hectares of vines. The quality found in Clos del Rey stems from the fact that father and son save the best 8 hectares for their own wines, selling the rest to the local co-op. In the cellar they use older oak and minimal intervention. If you need persuading that old vines make great wines then look no further.

Tasting Notes

A great example of what wines made from predominantly blending grapes such as carignan can express when winemaking is done at this level. Powerful yet elegant, mid-bodied yet long-lasting, fruity yet structured. Expect some subtle spice and cedar on the finish.

Press Review

"Outstanding. Made from 100% Carignan and aged 12 months in concrete, it shows the prettier side of this variety, with classic notions of spice, cedar, new leather and plum sauce on the nose. It is medium-bodied, pure and lively on the palate, with plenty of sweet fruit and good length on the finish."
90/100 - Robert Parker
