The 2022 La Ciaude from Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot is a refined expression of Minervois, sourced from hillside vineyards around Cazelles. Crafted primarily from Carignan with complementary varieties, it reflects the warmth and stony soils of the region with balance and clarity. Aromas of black raspberry, dark cherry, and wild herbs rise from the glass, layered with subtle floral tones and a touch of spice. The palate is structured yet polished, offering ripe red and black fruit supported by fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. A mineral thread runs through the wine, leading to a focused, persistent finish.
