Negly La Porte du Ciel La Clape Rouge 2019

Just a handful of cases for this flagship cuvee – collectors...do what you must to snag this – one of the hottest reds in the world, really! One-third off the retail?! This is CRAZY-huge bang for the buck – these wines MUST be experienced!

By now, we assume you savvy folks are already dropping a few of these beauties in your baskets, but just in case you DON’T know the Château la Négly wines — brace yourself! Everything they do is stunning, but this, the top cuvee, from old vines on their prized estate vineyard, is something next-level. 100% syrah, fully-destemmed, matured in new French oak...like Hermitage took a vacation along the Mediterranean coast to soak up a bit of sunshine. Inky, full-bodied, gorgeously fresh, and loaded with black and blue fruits, smoked meat and bacon fat, white flowers, and a long and elegant finish.

The Château 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 the penultimate standard bearer for quality in the Languedoc. 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! You CANNOT go wrong here – the pricing is just superb! $40 off!!! Woohoo!
