Characteristics "Reenowned for their iodized and Mediterranean character, the AOC La Clape wines are shown in two colors. Renowned for the subtlety of its exu berant whites that of great aromatic finesse, there is also a beautiful range of red wines, the most fond styles of which rub shoulders with those most imbued with density and of body. A complexity that makes you want to taste them." “The reds can present both aromas dominated by red fruits (blackcurrant) and sweet spices, as well as more complex aromas marked by garrigue, leather notes and ripe fruits. This typicality went hand in hand with the gradual abandonment of Cinsault and Carignan in the blends. The development of barrel aging has also brought additional complexity with lovely toasted, vanilla and honey notes. As for the rosés, they exhale raspberries and strawberries. Their palate is fruity and well balanced. Lots of potential. Rosé PDO Pic Saint Loup wines are invigorating, tasty and fresh, marked by notes of small red fruits.” Region website, soil and wine notes from languedoc-wines.com/en/langued oc-decouverte/les-aop-du-langued oc/aop-la-clape pic-saint-loup.com uploads/Religion/ grenache-languedoc-roussillon-1.pdf
