Vinified and matured in amphorae, the wine emphasizes purity, texture, and terroir transparency, allowing the vineyard's distinctive personality to take centre stage. The Saoumas' Burgundian-influenced philosophy brings an uncommon level of finesse and precision to this traditionally powerful Rhône appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe warm and concentrated 2017 vintage reveals intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, lavender, dried thyme, garrigue herbs, licorice, and exotic spice. The palate is full-bodied and layered, combining rich dark fruit with notes of black olive, crushed stone, earth, and savoury herbs. Fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity provide balance and freshness, while amphora ageing contributes additional purity and textural refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the wine develops in bottle, secondary notes of leather, cured meats, forest floor, and spice emerge, adding further complexity. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and remarkably elegant, marrying the power and concentration of La Crau with the precision and sophistication that define the Clos Saouma style. Built for long-term cellaring, the 2017 offers both immediate appeal and the capacity to evolve gracefully for another decade or more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clos Saouma","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45322130325613,"sku":"FRACLOSAMPHORACRAU17","price":325.92,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/92ca364-0-0_91a0a7d6-59b7-4f91-853e-d860ab1c687a.jpg?v=1781107790","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/clos-saouma-les-amphoraes-crau-chateauneuf-du-pape-rouge-2017","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
