Clos Constantin
A concentrated and detailed syrah. Complex nose with aromas of dark fruit, floral notes, garrigue, and black olive. Intense on the palate with crisp fruit, fine tannins, mineral tension, and an impressively long, elegant finish.
Delicious with pigeon, refined game dishes, roasted beef, lamb, vegetarian dishes with black olives, truffle, and aged hard cheeses.

About the winemaker
Clos Constantin is located in the village of Argelliers, 20 km from Montpellier, near Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, between Pic Saint-Loup and Larzac.
The estate covers 15 hectares, divided between the Font-Belette and Les Champs de Traversiers plots. Pierre took over the vineyards from his uncle and, together with Samuel, founded the winery in 2017.
From day one, they have been working organically and biodynamically; the wines are certified organic and biodynamic. The cellar is worked with great precision.
The wines of Clos Constantin are elegant, refined, and unpretentious, and fall under the AOC Languedoc and AOC Terrasses du Larzac appellations.
