Vitatge Vielh 2021 - Lapeyre

Clos Lapeyre is located on the hillsides of Chapelle de Rousse, where Jean-Bernard Larrieu has been cultivating his vines organically for 20 years. Formerly a mixed farm (strawberries, cows and vines), the vines now dominate the 18 hectares of the estate, planted on terraces.

The grapes come from three plots of land on the Domaine de Nays, ranging in age from 60 to nearly 100 years. The three main grape varieties are interplanted, with a majority of Gros Manseng, approximately 30% Petit Manseng, and 5 to 10% Courbu. Just like an old fruit tree, an old vine better regulates its vigor and production, resulting in more flavorful and delicious fruit.
