We offer two ways to locate information:
Le Clos comes from a special 21-acre vineyard surrounded by forest and planted to 50% Syrah and 50% Grenache. Its soil contains a significant amount of mormorillonite clay, prized in vineyards for its density (Petrus owes much of its fame to this clay). The wine is deep, dark, dense and age-worthy. Production averages 2,500 cases.
"The superb 2009 Vacqueyras Les Clos (an equal part blend of concrete-aged Grenache and Syrah) boasts a dense purple color along with notes of cassis, blackberries, charcoal, barbecue smoke and Provencal herbs. This meaty, opulent, full-bodied, powerful wine must tip the scales at 15+% alcohol. However, the alcohol, tannins and acidity are well-integrated in this forward, lush wine. It should drink well for 7-8 years given its level of concentration."

The Wine Advocate
"Deep ruby. Highly perfumed nose exudes scents of blackberry, cherry-cola, violet and cracked pepper, plus a hint of smokiness. Deeply pitched flavors of dark fruits and candied flowers boast impressive intensity and gain sweetness with air. Finishes focused and impressively persistent, with echoing flavors of sweet dark fruits and a subtle smoky quality."
