Chateau de la Negly Le Clos des Truffiers Coteaux du Languedoc Rouge 2018  - First Bottle

Reviews

95-97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
The glass-staining purple mass that is the 2018 Clos des Truffiers is (as always) an exercise in intensity and power, yet it's not without a certain degree of elegance—the extraction is gentle, the tannins soft and creamy-plush in texture. Notes of blueberries, blackberries, vanilla, licorice and cocoa swirl about, providing immense pleasure in this full-bodied beauty that never seems heavy or overdone. Despite all the power, it's deceptively easy to drink, even at this early stage of its evolution. It should drink well for at least a decade after its release.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

Just a handful of boxes of each incredible cuvee - collectors…do what you must to snag this - one of the hottest reds in the world, really! CRAZY-huge bang for the buck - these wines MUST be experienced!

By now, we assume you savvy folks are already dropping these in your baskets, but just in case you DON’T know the Chateau la Negly wines — brace yourself! Everything they do is stunning, but these, the top cuvees, from old vines and prized vineyards, are something next-level.

The Chateau was built in the 18th century and was originally named d'Anceley; in 1807 the name changed to Negly. Many families have owned this historic estate over the centuries but it wasn't until the arrival of Jean Paux-Rosset, who purchased Negly in 1992, that the wines produced from these old traditional vineyards began their elevation to premier level status. Superstar winemaker Claude Gros guides the ship on these beauties and they are frankly stunning wines. Jeb Dunnuck knows what a talent he is describing him as, "one of the most talented, yet least known top consultants in the wine world today."

We just received our tiny allocation and all we can say is – GO! Plenty of press to read up on here, just know you are getting wildly deep dark intense and concentrated wines with fantastic levels of complexity and polish. You CANNOT go wrong here – the pricing is just superb!

About the Producer

The Chateau de la Negly is located in the Languedoc, overlooking the Mediterranean, in the exceptional terroir of La Clape. They original Negly vineyard spanned 123 acres on clay limestone soils which gives Negly its signature palate impact and broad shoulders. In 2006 they acquired the neighboring 62 acres on alluvial sand and sandstone soils which was replanted and now is farmed sustainably and by hand. Consultant Claude Gros has further refined the work in the cellar it's not a mystery why La Negly is the top of the class in Southern France.
