Classic & Structured — A flagship and highly acclaimed cuvée from Chateau La Negly, Le Clos des Truffiers 2017 is an exceptional expression of the La Clape appellation in Southern France. Produced from a tiny, old-vine parcel overlooking the Mediterranean, this rare wine is crafted only in outstanding vintages and is celebrated for its remarkable concentration, elegance, and ageing potential. The nose is intensely complex, revealing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, ripe plum, and black cherry, layered with notes of violets, liquorice, graphite, dark chocolate, black pepper, and the distinctive garrigue herbs of the Mediterranean. Carefully integrated French oak adds nuances of cedar, vanilla, espresso, and sweet spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably structured, with dense yet silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and extraordinary depth. Rich dark fruit is balanced by mineral freshness and savoury complexity, leading to an exceptionally long, refined finish. Powerful yet graceful, Le Clos des Truffiers is one of the benchmark wines of La Clape, offering superb ageing potential and a profound expression of its unique terroir. Perfect with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, venison, wild game, slow-braised beef, truffle dishes, and mature hard cheeses.
