The Cuvée H du Clos de la Barthassade is a fruity wine dominated by Syrah. This fresh cuvée should be drunk over 5 years with red meats or barbecues. The nose develops notes of black fruit and smoke, typical of Syrah. On the palate, with silky tannins, this wine is delicious and fresh. Black fruits, spices and orange peel combine to create a superb bouquet. Fresh, precise finish. Great value for money!
Hélène and Guillaume Barron have been running Clos de la Barthassade since 2014, a vineyard they created in Aniane, in the heart of the Terrasses du Larzac, next to the famous Grange des Pères. Having worked with Sylvain Pataille in Burgundy, this talented winemaking couple produce fresh, easy-to-digest wines that are surprisingly well-balanced for the region. The Clos de la Barthassade vineyard is farmed organically, and certain tasks are governed by the biodynamic calendar.11 hectares of vines are currently planted in several communes, including Montpeyroux, Jonquières and Saint-Saturnin. Everything is done here to develop life in and out of the soil." Clos de la Barthassade takes its name from the Occitan "bartàs" meaning "bush, scrub" and refers to the dense woodland bordering our plots in Montpeyroux." - Hélène & Guillaume Barron
