"We have been impressed by previous vintages of Clos Miran's rich Rhône red. We couldn’t wait to try their 2022 which is turning out to be a fantastic vintage in the Southern Rhone and boy did it live up to expectations. From the first sniff is screamed Cotes du Rhone from a good vintage. The nose is dominated by creamy crushed black raspberries/blackberry and spice. It is a classic velvety Grenache, enhanced with a little peppery, blackberry-rich Syrah, underpinned by some lovely freshness, a hallmark of the 2022 vintage. This is very moreish - Cotes du Rhône red at its most drinkable & appealing best"

The Clos des Miran vineyard, certified organic since 2014, is located in Pont-Saint-Esprit in the Gard department, a few steps from the major tourist sites of the region. The Clos vineyard comprises some twenty hectares in one single block, planted with Syrah, Grenache, Viognier and Roussanne grapes.
When it comes to value and flavour, Côtes du Rhône is known for constantly over-delivering. The new vintage from our friends at Clos Miran is a beauty & smashes it out of the park for quality and value. Rich, warming and seductively smooth. This wine is as close as you could hope to come to an authentic Châteauneuf style without paying the premium. Finest Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre from neighbouring vineyards combine beautifully to give herb-scented, velvety black fruit, liquorice and spice.
