94+ Pts, Robert Parker, 2019
Each grape variety and each parcel was macerated in separate batches in unlined, thermoregulated precast concrete vats. The Syrah grapes were destalked, vatted and vinified. The Grenache and Mourvèdre were destemmed and lightly crushed before vatting under strict temperature control. They underwent a very gentle maceration to limit the extraction of tannins, with some pumping over for aeration and humidification of the cap only. Finally, the Carignan grapes were whole bunch fermented at higher temperatures to extract the maximum aromas. The wines then spent 12 months in French oak barrels. The wines blended after the Spring Equinox, the Syrah, the Grenache, Mourvèdre and Carignan.
Deep garnet in colour, Clos d’Ora is characterful, opulent, and distinguished, with a full and intense palate. Notes of deep black fruits envelop the mature and textured tannins, leading to a long, sophisticated finish. It has excellent ageing potential.

| Winery | This nine-hectare vineyard, enclosed by dry stone walls, is located at La Livinière in the Minervois at 220 meters above sea level. At Clos d’Ora, Bertrand has used biodynamic methods for working the vines, using horses and mules to foster connections between minerals, vegetables, animals, and humans. The soils are composed of chalk, sandstone, and marble. Leaf thinning occurs before the harvest, and the grapes are entirely hand-picked. |
