Wines in clay amphorae are wines vinified and/or aged in containers whose shape and size are inspired by the wine vases used by our Roman ancestors, the « dolia ».
The absence of contact with wood allows us to obtain pure and mineral wines that reveal the full expression of the terroir and the fruit.

Tasting date: November 2020
OUR OPINION: fruity - full-bodied. The 2018 vintage of the Clos Plince is more robust than the previous one, I advise to let it age a little more in the cellar, failing that to decant it a few hours before serving.
Limited quantities, only 1200 bottles produced by the estate.
The juice is clear, of a beautiful orange color. There is a slight reduction present on the nose which disappears after a few minutes of aeration in the glass, to give way to elegant notes of kiwi, mirabelle plum, quetsche and a hint of lily of the valley. On the palate, the juice is supple and delicious with a slightly peaty finish evoking whiskey.
A wine of finesse and delicacy, a nice surprise !

The juice is salmon-colored, and the nose, intense and totally atypical, evokes the armagnac : there are scents of ripe apricots, rhubarb, raisins, and quince paste. The mouth is supple, invigorating and very pleasantly scented, the tannins are barely noticeable. A beautiful curiosity !

- Nose: creamy and slightly toasted notes, aromas of yellow peaches, white flowers, and lemon, with a hint of tangerine .
- Palate: dynamic and generously scented, beautiful aromatic persistence with a finish that stretches on amazing notes of Grand-Marnier liqueur.
Tasting date: January 2020
OUR OPINION: a very rich wine that will gain in complexity with age, it is the most opulent of the range.
Juicy nose with aromas of fresh grapes, white flowers, mirabelle plum, and plum brandy. The palate is very delicate, it offers a nice acidity and elegant lemony notes.
Generous and floral nose, with scents of rose, lychees and dried apricots. The palate is lively and elegantly scented. A very fresh and very floral vintage !
