Domaine des Creisses - IGP Pays d'Hérault - Les Creisses - Rouge - 2020

Wine:

A brilliant combination of elegance and density, fruity and floral notes, the 2020 red IGP Pays d'Hérault Les Creisses fully reflects its terroirs of sand, clay and limestone, with silky tannins and excellent ageing potential. The beautiful intensity of flavors, the indisputable Mediterranean register (notes of garrigue, rosemary, black olive) and its remarkable clarity make this a wine apart, terribly effective. With a finish of rare freshness!

Temperature:

Serve between 14 and 16°C.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2028.

An insolent success story, Domaine des Creisses is one of those highly sought-after labels that operate - and this is rare enough in the Languedoc to warrant mention - exclusively on allocation. Since 1998, Philippe Chesnelong has watched over these 30 hectares with infinite care, offering wines that elude all fashions and diktats, all powerfully fruity with rich, savory mouthfeel and unanimous pleasure. A rejuvenating treatment that appeals to wine-lovers, so much so that strong demand is forcing a volume quota!
