Tasting Notes:
Unlike the typically robust and powerful style of Gigondas red wines, Clos de Caveau's Champvermeil offers refined acidity, making it highly drinkable and versatile with food. It features ripe black cherry aromas with delicate spice notes, including bay leaf, Provencal herbs, and saffron, along with a subtle mineral character and velvety tannins. Decanting is recommended to fully open up the aromas and flavors. Pair it with richly sauced seafood dishes, such as the classic Southern French bouillabaisse, where the wine's acidity enhances the garlic and saffron notes, leaving a sweet and savory aftertaste.
