"Tasted out of bottle, the 2015 La Clape Ancely is borderline perfection. Made from mostly Mourvèdre brought up in new barrels, its inky color is followed by a massive, opulent, yet still elegant red that has exotic notes of smoked meats, steak tartare, Asian spices, and assorted darker fruits. This full-bodied 2015 has building tannin and a blockbuster style yet remains perfectly balanced and light on its feet. If you want to see how good Mourvèdre can be from the Languedoc, beg, borrow, or steal to get a bottle of this."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
