This is a organic (tending towards biodynamic) gem of a winery in Corbieres which is the neighbourhood organic wine shop sells. Its website shows favourable reviews from Jancis Robinson, Decanter and Parker (no less) and having tasted a number of wines which I thought lifted my impressions of the Corbieres appellation, I thought it is time to explore this winery.
The name Les Clos Perdus means the lost (enclosed parcels of ) vineyards, and refers to the small parcels of old vines scattered on the hillsides around the locality. They are low yielding hence able to produce high quality fruit, but tend to be remote, unamenable to mechanization and thus unattractive to larger producer. This winery based in the village of Peyriac de Mer in the Languedoc, producing red whites and roses of the appellations Corbieres (3 red, 1 rose) and Vin de Pay de Cotes Catalan (2 whites and 2 reds).
