2021 Domaine Cassagne et Vitailles "Clas Mani" - Terrasses du Larzac - 3 Bottles (0.75L)

Clas Mani 2021 is one of the domaine Cassagne et Vitailles' most ambitious vintages, established in Montpeyroux, at the heart of the Terrasses du Larzac appellation. This red wine embodies power mastered and the elegance of great southern French terroirs, between mountain influence, poor soils, and generous sunshine.

Based on a blend of 50% Syrah, 30% Carignan, and 20% Grenache, Clas Mani draws its character from plots planted on clay-limestone soils at altitude. This setup brings freshness, tension, and depth to the wine, while preserving the fruit’s finesse.

Each plot is harvested, sorted, and vinified separately in order to respect the terroir’s identity and the aromatic purity of the grapes. The cuvée then benefits from a long élevage of about two and a half years in Chassin oak barrels, which refines its structure, softens its tannins, and gives it notable complexity.

In the glass, Clas Mani 2021 offers a deep color and a aromatic palette centered on ripe black fruits, black cherry, blackberry, and blackcurrant. Notes of garrigue, Mediterranean spices, graphite, and cocoa enrich the profile, while the élevage adds an elegant woodiness well integrated with the fruit.

On the palate, this Terrasses du Larzac is concentrated, ample, and perfectly balanced. The tannins are present yet fine, supported by a bright acidity that brings freshness and precision to the whole. The finish is long and persistent, pairing black fruit, soft spices, and a touch of mineral bitterness.

This wine will pair particularly well with a rib of beef, herb-roasted lamb, a game civet, duck confit, or well‑aged hard cheeses. Serve it between 16 and 18 °C, ideally after aeration in a carafe, to release its full aromatic richness.

With an estimated aging potential of 7 to 10 years, the Clas Mani 2021 is an ideal choice for fans of characterful Languedoc wines seeking a structured, sincere red built for cellar aging.
