Clos Cazals Vieilles Vignes is made from a rigorous selection of old vines planted in 1957 on the famous family estate in Oger. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, 20% of the wine is aged in oak barrels to enrich texture and complex aromatics. The cuvée is then aged for 9 years on its lees in our own cellars. The low dosage of 2 g/L respects the purity of the terroir and sublimates the natural finesse of the Grand Cru.
