Saint-Damien's 'Clovis Saurel' is a Grenache-lover's dream, at a dreamy price for this level of quality. 100% old-vine Grenache with a long maceration and a good 15 months of age in demi-muids. Intensely aromatic, exhibiting the classic floral and savory elements famous of this southern French region, complemented by a robe of red fruits & dusty tannins. 

“96 out of 100 … Gorgeous stuff, the 2019 Gigondas Clovis Saurel... offers an elegant, medium to full-bodied style that just glides across the palate with silky, ultra-fine tannins, and perfect balance, and while it's not massive, it builds beautifully with time in the glass and has plenty of structure and length. More red-fruited aromatically, with notes of wild strawberries, framboise, Provençal garrigue, wildflowers, and hints of white pepper, it's complex, layered, nuanced, and just a joy to drink. It should drink fabulously well over the following decade.” - Jeb Dunnuck
