Nestled near the craggy limestone cliffs of La Clape in Languedoc, Château de la Négly lies at the heart of one of southern France’s most exciting emerging appellations. Once folded into the broader Languedoc designation, La Clape was awarded its own AOC status in 2015—a recognition of its unique terroir. Here, a striking blend of limestone soils, sun-drenched Mediterranean warmth, and cooling sea breezes creates ideal conditions for wines of remarkable depth, freshness.
A classic Languedoc red blend with a coastal twist, this wine hails from La Clape, where sea breezes lend a freshness that sets it apart from more inland styles. Syrah, Carignan, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault come together in a bold yet beautifully balanced blend, with half of the wine aged in wooden vats. It bursts with ripe cassis, violet, liquorice, and black pepper, all wrapped in a silky, racy texture that gives it real finesse. You still get the warmth and wild herb character typical of the Languedoc, but here it’s lifted by a brightness that makes it especially special.
