Clos D'alzan, Rouge
Clos D'alzan, Rouge
Clos d’ Alzan is a small project wine by Michel Collomb who is known for focusing on fruit-forward, elegant wines. Signargues is only produced from the southernmost appellation of the Rhône: this tier of CdR adheres to strict quality controls and only produces red wine. This wine is exclusively offered by Bruno Lafon.
The story
Alzan is an amazing vineyard looking like some of the top sites of Châteauneuf-du-Pape with very large rolled stones and very old Grenache and Syrah vines. As a matter of fact, Clos d’Alzan lies right across the Rhône River. This intensely flavored, robust bottling is a product of this exceptional terroir. The consulting oenologist for Clos d’Alzan is none other than Xavier Vignon, one of France’s best winemakers.
Vinification
Handpicked and sorted. Traditional vinification in concrete tanks, using low temperature fermentation (below 20C°/ 68F°). Long after fermentation maceration in tanks for 2 to 4 weeks. No oak treatment, no fining and very light filtration before bottling.
