2016 vintage. "La Clie" is the name of an old vine parcel planted with Cabernet Sauvignon (40 - 50%) and Merlot. According to the website it is aged for 12 months in new oak barriques in which case the wine takes the oak surprisingly well. The wood is very dominant in the nose, but in the mouth it has good fruit and elegance and should age very well. Still, I believe it could be better with a lighter hand on the oak. Abv. 13,5%.
