lies halfway between Montpellier and Béziers, in the village of Montagnac, nestled in the heart of the Languedoc.
Some 36 of Domaine de la Clapière's 60 hectares are planted with vines. Here we find the unpretentious essence of Mediterranean charm: gentle and serene, subtle and elegant. Alluvial terraces made up of filtering gravel and rocky outcrops are home to a mosaic of 10 different grape varietals.
This wine of the Grès de Montpellier appellation is a blend of Syrah and Grenache. Syrah brings depth of flavour, as grenache provides texture. The wine is aged for 12 months in a range of vessels, in order to broaden its aromatic profile: terracotta and stoneware amphoras, new barrels and stainless steel vats.
" We have been certified Terra Vitis since the 2010 vintage but the certification represents an approach that we have always had. Terra Vitis is a genuine philosophy, a sustainable way of thinking about the impact we have on the environment from planting the vines all the way to bottling the wine. We are perfectly aware that we need to think about the future, about the world we are leaving to our children. Terra Vitis is the perfect response. "
