Château de la Négly is located in the Occitanie region in France, in the La Clape massif overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Its exceptional geographical location creates a unique alchemy of elements: caressed by the sea spray and buffeted by the Tramontane and sea winds, this sun-drenched land absorbs heat to warm the grapes that soak up the sun’s golden rays. The grapes greedily accept the treasures that Nature offers them. They can then begin their slow maturation, generously returning the bounty they have received.

Very low yields, rigorous selection and unassailable quality control sees Jean Paux-Rosset and his oenologist Claude Gros setting new standards for the entire Languedoc not just their La Clape area. The Coteaux du Languedoc La Clape LAncely is predominantly Mourvedre with a little Syrah. Its nose of ripe black fruit is followed by a creamy palate of cassis black cherry and plum with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. It is deliciously smooth and sweet with everything in harmony and an aftertaste that is long and complex.

"Carignan (which goes through carbonic maceration), Mourvèdre, Syrah and Grenache.
A wine that plays the red-fruit card boldly, without hesitation. Plump red plum, glistening pomegranate, popping raspberry – a flotilla of beribboned, banner-waving, expansive fruit festivity complete with trumpets of smoky herbs, sweet purple olives, warm spices and an undertow of mushroom-and-hot-tar minerality. Transparent tannins, intrinsic. Gorgeous fruit that captures the salty sea winds of La Clape and the resin scents of the garrigue framing the vineyards. There is something deeply quenching, an integrity, about this wine. Drink to 2028.

"If you have never tasted a red La Clape before this would be an excellent place to start.
Violets, black cherry and raspberry with a scent of garrigue and a touch of salinity this is
a fine example. No Syrah here but so alive with a bright and breezy finish. 2023-2026."
