Clos du Temple 2022 Single Bottle 75cl

Located in the heart of the Languedoc in the South of France, Clos du Temple was born on the historic terroir of Cabrières, the cradle of rosé wines.
The terroir owes its uniqueness to its geological origins.
The contact between schist, limestone, and the hilly relief gives rise to a complex underground water circulation network, fostering an exceptional natural water supply for the vineyard and the emergence of a spring of great purity.
Its altitude of 150 metres, combined with its south–south-west exposure, contributes to the creation of a perfectly balanced wine with great aromatic freshness. At Clos du Temple, we have chosen to cultivate the vines biodynamically and to use horses and mules in order to foster the connection between the mineral, the vegetal, the animal, and the human.

Clos du Temple has been voted the best rosé wine in the world four times by Drinks Business.

A perfect balance, ample, with great length, carried by a beautiful freshness. As the winery is located at the heart of the vineyard, transport time is minimal. The best free-run juices are then selected. Cold pressing (5°C) preserves the aromas and freshness and avoids colouring of the juice by blocking the natural pigments (anthocyanins). Before fermentation at low temperature, a 24-hour settling at a controlled temperature between 8 and 10°C is carried out without the addition of sulphur. The wine is aged in new French oak barrels (oak from the Tronçais and Jupilles forests) for 6 to 8 months on fine lees with batonnage. The wines are blended on a fruit day, according to the biodynamic astral calendar, favourable for tasting
