Appellation La Clape AOP, Rebsorten: 55 % Syrah, 40 % Grenache, 5 % Mourvèdre 

verkostet April 2021:

Château de la Negly La Falaise präsentiert sich in dichtem, dunklem Purpurrot. Konzentrierte Aromenvielfalt aus reifen Brombeeren, Kirschlikör und Provencekräutern begeistert die Nase. Weich und cremig wirkt der Wein zunächst im Mund, um dann mit Druck und Dichte auf den Gaumen zu wirken. Kräftige, beerige Textur beschert auch den ausgeprägt fruchtbetonten Nachhall.

Aged in a combination of foudres and 300-liter barrels, the 2018 La Clape la Falaise reveals hints of cracked pepper, mixed berries and licorice on the nose. It's full-bodied and expansive in the mouth, rich and mouthfilling without being heavy or overdone, buttressed by silky tannins and ample depth of fruit. It's a lovely effort that should drink well for 4-5 years.

This estate in the La Clape appellation has made a huge reputation as one of the top red wine producers in the Languedoc, crafting massive yet balanced and even somewhat elegant wines from the region's classic grape varieties. The Paux-Rosset family, with help from consultant Claude Gros, consistently makes terrific wine, with the big mystery being how so many of the descriptors can add up to something that sounds like dessert, yet the wines come across as savory and easy to drink. If I knew how they were able to do it, I'd start my own consulting business. Instead, I'm just left to enjoy and marvel at their results. Don't overlook the affiliated properties, listed separately: Clos des Truffiers, Château la Vernède (including a 2019 red made without added sulfites), and Domaine de Boède.

2013 Négly Clos des Truffiers beeindruckt mit dunkler, purpurroter Farbe. Der Nase präsentiert sich  eine ausdrucksstarke Aromatik von süßlicher Frucht wie schwarze Johannisbeere und Kirschlikör. Konzentriert und stoffig wirkt die kompakte Frucht am Gaumen. Fein geschliffene Tannine lassen so die Frucht sehr lange im Mund verweilen.

The 2013 Clos des Truffiers - which was tasted as a barrel sample - will certainly be one of the wines of the vintage. It lacks the weight of a top vintage and is more reminiscent of the 2002 and 2004, albeit, with more purity and elegance. Giving up lots of cassis, vanilla bean, crushed rock-like minerality and spring flowers in its bouquet, this full-bodied, seamless 2013 has a fresh, lively and impeccably balanced profile on the palate that makes it already hard to resist. The first time this cuvee has been aged in larger, 600-liter barrels, it will need short-term cellaring (and I wouldn't be surprised to see it put on weight after bottling) and will keep for two decades.
