About this Wine

Clos Saouma Les Amphoraes "Pignan" Cinsault 2020 is an extraordinarily rare wine from Mounir and Rotem Saouma, showcasing the potential of old-vine Cinsault through their signature amphora ageing programme. Sourced from the renowned Pignan sector near Châteauneuf-du-Pape, an area celebrated for its sandy soils and ability to produce wines of exceptional perfume and elegance, this cuvée highlights a side of the Rhône rarely seen at such a high level.

The outstanding 2020 vintage produced fruit of remarkable concentration while retaining freshness and aromatic lift. The wine opens with expressive aromas of wild strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, dried herbs, blood orange, and subtle exotic spice. On the palate, it is silky and refined, combining vibrant red fruit flavours with floral nuances, savoury complexity, and a distinctive mineral thread. Amphora maturation preserves purity and transparency, allowing the vineyard character and the delicacy of Cinsault to take centre stage.

Despite its graceful profile, the wine possesses impressive depth and persistence. Notes of lavender, crushed stone, spice, and Mediterranean herbs emerge through a long, energetic finish. The sandy soils of Pignan contribute exceptional finesse and aromatic precision, creating a wine that is both captivating in its youth and capable of developing further complexity with cellaring.

Wines of Rhone Valley

The Rhone wine region is situation in the south of France in the Rhone Valley. The region is split into north and south with distinctively different winemaking styles. In the north, the main grape used is Syrah and is sometimes blended with white varietals. In the south however, reds are a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan and Cinsault. You may be familiar with this sort of blend; in Australia it is labelled GSM.

Wines are produced under various Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) designations. The most prestigious of which is Chateauneuf-du-Pape. You may also have heard of other AOC names such as Gigondas, Hermitage, Lirac, St Joseph. Wines coming from these and other AOCs are all on the higher end of the market.

On the value end we have wines produced in Cotes-du-Rhone AOC. Cotes-du-Rhone often refers to wines made in the Rhone Valley that do not fall under any other AOC, often from the flatter areas around Southern Rhone. However, it also does include the fringes of well-respected northern appellations as well. In terms of volume, a majority of Rhone wine falls under the Cotes-du-Rhone AOC and it offers some of the best value in France and even some first-rate and age-worthy reds.

Full-bodied and flavourful white wine blends are also made in the region. These are typically a combination of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier.
