Clos Marie

We can thus highlight the full potential of this great terroir. Indeed, Pic-Saint-Loup stands out a little more each year, presenting wines of rare finesse in a Languedoc climate known for being hot and arid, thanks to varied soils offering a beautiful diversity of expressions identifiable in the cuvées. In their village of Lauret, Clos Marie has 22 ha of vineyard, reaching up to 350 meters in altitude, which preserves the freshness of the wines. This limestone terroir, dotted with clay-marl scree gives the Clos Marie wines a rather singular mineral expression. Clos Marie is in biodynamics, but does not advertise it. Christophe Peyrus, by delimiting his parcels, has shaped a very diverse range of 6 wines with 4 cuvées in red Languedoc: L'Olivette, Simon, Les Métairies du Clos and Les Glorieuses, accompanied by 2 beautiful cuvées in white Languedoc: Manon and Les Métairies du Clos. Praised for their finesse, their body and their distinction, the wines from the Clos Marie estate are appreciated by enthusiasts, and rather sought after. The Glorieuses cuvée in red wine is only produced in great vintages and when conditions allow, in order to express the quintessence of the estate's production. In a vintage like 2013, the wine has a nose of pinot noir and great Burgundy. Its matter is splendid and of great finesse, slender and refined. The Simon cuvée is frankly successful in 2017, and no doubt it will go far. In white wine, the Manon cuvée is simpler in its aromas, and the old vines cuvée Métairies du Clos reveals a complex nose of apricot and sweet spices with a round, fruity and fresh mouth, before a long finish. Christophe Peyrus recommends decanting for wines less than 5 years old, to avoid some possible reduction aromas. Clos Marie is an estate to recommend for lovers of wines with the scents of the South, but more on balance and finesse than on strength and the demonstrative side.
