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.

"lend of Carignan (carbonic maceration), Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah.
Dark-cherry fruit, chocolate-velvet tannins. Masses of cherry juice. Soaked with juice. Liquorice and thyme and lavender on the gently raspy finish. Fresh and surprisingly transparent for such a big wine with Mourvèdre and Syrah in the blend. Throat-warming on the end."

"A delicious, silky and fruit-driven wine with aromas of sweet cherries, strawberries and flowers. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. A refined texture, with a generous core of berries and spices on the palate and a focused finish. Drink or hold."
