Sainte-Eugénie Le Clos 2010 |
|
The new vintage of Sainte-Eugénie Le Clos has finally landed and is in the store now! |
So many of you fell in love with this wine. |
In fact, one comment we heard over and over again was
“this is best red wine I've ever had for under $12.” |
We agree this is a great house red for weeknight drinking and serving to casual company. |
Domaine Sainte-Eugénie is positioned within the district of Fontfroide, the sweet spot of Corbières, with an 800 year history of viticulture. The estate is located within the foothills of the Pyrénées along the Mediterranean coast. |
We met the winemaker, Herve Gantier, last year. He makes amazing wine which should sell for a much higher price. |

The personality of this delightful little red blend is half Bordeaux and half Languedoc-Roussillon. |
We first introduced "Le Clos" to the store last summer. Since then it has become something of a legend. |
Composed of 45% Merlot, 20% Carignan, 20% Grenache, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, this beauty displays lively red and black fruit flavors with hints of incense, spices, anise, and autumn woods. It's very soft on the palate, with a touch of oak. |
Kevin recommends Le Clos, where he feels Burgundian know-how meets Languedoc terroir. |
Let's be honest. It isn't very easy to find a smooth, sultry, easy drinking, luscious wine for less than $12 per bottle. To find all that WITHOUT mass production and WITH personality and terroir, well, let's just say you've hit a vinous jackpot. |
Domaine Sainte-Eugénie Le Clos effortlessly melts in your mouth. Pair it with roast rack of lamb, barbecued beef, or pork chops. Or serve it on its own as an aperitif. |
Domaine Sainte-Eugénie Le Clos: $11.99/bottle or $115.10/12 pack case ($9.59/bottle) or just $9.59/bottle in a mixed case of wine. |
