The purity of black berry aromas in Laval’s “little” wine is extravagant in its own way. I'm floored by how good this wine is. Maybe you can judge the greatness of a winemaker upon the character of their lesser bottlings. This is so honed, more elegant than one can reasonably expect from an everyday red. Gorgeous unblemished fruit in abundance. Clos Maïa is located in La Vacquerie-et-Saint-Martin-de-Castries, in the Terrasses du Larzac appellation in Languedoc. The estate belongs to Géraldine Laval, originally from the south of Charente-Maritime. She began her adventure in 2009 with two plots of Grenache planted in the heart of the Cirque de Labeil. Today, the plot extends over 6 hectares cultivated in organic farming in the process of certification. Varietials: Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault
