Clos Saouma Les Amphoraes âCrauâ Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Rouge 2020
Clos Saouma Les Amphoraes "Crau" Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2020 is a rare single-site wine from Mounir and Rotem Saouma's acclaimed Amphorae Collection. Each year, selected crus are aged in amphorae for around a year with minimal intervention before gentle pressing and bottling, allowing the vineyard character to be expressed in a pure and unadorned manner.
The outstanding 2020 vintage delivers remarkable concentration while retaining freshness and precision. Aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, dried lavender, violets, licorice, garrigue herbs, and exotic spice rise from the glass. The palate is layered and powerful, offering dense dark fruits, black olive, crushed stone, and savoury earth notes supported by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Amphora ageing enhances textural purity and transparency, allowing the distinctive La Crau terroir to take centre stage without overt oak influence.
Rich and expressive yet remarkably refined, the wine finishes with exceptional length, combining notes of dark berries, Mediterranean herbs, spice, and mineral freshness. Built for long-term ageing, the 2020 Crau balances the generosity of a warm RhĂ´ne vintage with the elegance and precision that have become hallmarks of the Clos Saouma style.
