2017 Domaine Clavel 'Cordelia' Côtes du Rhône Villages Chusclan
Domaine Clavel's 'Cordelia' is a Côtes du Rhône Villages Chusclan from old vines on the right bank of the Rhône, just opposite Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Made under the guidance of celebrated consulting oenologist Philippe Cambie, it is a classic southern Rhône blend that captures the warmth and herbal lift of the area at a remarkably gentle price point.
Grape varieties: Approximately 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Carignan.
Terroir: Old vines on the right bank of the Rhône in the Chusclan cru, on similar terroir to neighbouring Châteauneuf-du-Pape - rolled pebbles (galets) over clay-limestone subsoil.
Vinification: Hand-harvested, fermented in temperature-controlled vats with regular pumping over and délestage to extract colour and texture, then aged primarily in vat with a portion in oak.
COLOUR: Deep cherry red with brilliant reflections.
NOSE: Vibrant nose of black cherry, raspberry, garrigue and a touch of mineral spice.
PALATE: Balanced and concentrated, with silky tannins coating juicy fruit and a long, savoury finish.
FOOD PAIRING: Perfect with grilled lamb, beef stew, mushroom dishes and ripe semi-hard cheeses. Serve at 16-18°C.
