The Young Winery Clos des Nines

Clos des Nines is a vibrant winery located near Poussan in the Languedoc region of France. Founded by Isabelle Mangeart, this winery represents a fresh approach to winemaking. Nestled in the heart of the garrigue—a unique landscape characterized by rocky terrain and aromatic herbs—Isabelle and her partner Christian produce wines that reflect the essence of their surroundings. Their red wine, L’Orée, is a standout example of how the local terroir influences flavor.

The Vineyard of Clos des Nines

The team at Clos des Nines is dedicated to sustainable practices, tending to their vines with care. They harvest and prune by hand, maintaining low yields to ensure high-quality grapes. In 2013, they committed to organic farming and achieved certification in 2016. The vineyards thrive on clay-limestone soil, enriched with fossilized oyster shells, which adds a unique character to their wines.

The Grape Varieties of Clos des Nines

The vineyards feature a diverse range of grape varieties, with vines aged between 10 and 80 years. The oldest varietals include Carignan and Alicante, a French grape known for its deep color and blending potential. Clos des Nines also cultivates Syrah and Cinsault for their red wines, with Cinsault being favored for its heat tolerance. For white wines, they grow Viognier, Vermentino, Roussanne, and Grenache Blanc. Despite being relatively new to the wine industry, Clos des Nines has garnered numerous accolades from prestigious publications like Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate.

The welcome is always warm, Isabelle and Christian are true enthusiasts who will talk to you about their domain, wines and projects with enthusiasm! And of course, the wines are fabulous, special mention for Obladie in white, l'Orée in red, and the O3 cuvée, only when the years allow it.

An exceptional welcome, in the middle of the harvest, with a visit to the cellar and fascinating technical explanations. The wines are to match: authentic and straightforward.

Very nice moment of sharing and passion for all the vintages of the winery. No false notes and only joy for all the bottles and the history of the winery. Thank you to Isabelle for her welcome and love for her passion.

Many thanks to Christian and Isabelle for the warm welcome! We tried all the red wines and liked them all. My favourite was the Pulp Rouge, my partner liked the Cisco Loco best. We took some of each one with us to try them again at home. We will definitely be back. Speaking of which: don't be fooled by the location of the winery's modern building. The vineyards belonging to it are a little way away in the hills of the hinterland.
