Our location high in the Languedoc hills means that Cazal Viel benefits from one of the most diverse and interesting terroirs of the Languedoc region. Coupled with old vines and naturally low yields, the grapes from this terroir show extraordinary depth and character. Laurent uses traditional vinification and ages the wine in second use oak barrels for twelve months in order to maintain optimum character in the wine.
Tasting notes:
An intense garnet robe, with purple highlights. The nose is intense and spicy with hints of black pepper and cloves. On the palate, this wine is round and texturous and shows a very fine balance between tannins and oak..
