The Producer
Founded in 2017 by Pierre Halley and Samuel Durand, Clos Constantin cultivates 15 hectares in Argelliers, in the heart of the Terrasses du Larzac in Languedoc. Pierre Halley, a terroir-driven winemaker, teams up with Samuel Durand, a former sommelier at Lavinia, to manage this estate, which has been certified organic since 2021. The estate owes its uniqueness to its cool and late-ripening terroir, which benefits from exceptional temperature variations in this south-eastern part of the AOC.
The Vineyard
Located in Argelliers (Arjiès in Occitan) at the extreme south-east of the Terrasses du Larzac appellation, the vineyard benefits from a unique terroir. The clay-limestone and quartz soils provide a cool climate that promotes a slow and balanced ripening of the grapes.
Winemaking and Aging
The manual harvest of Arjiès 2023 is followed by plot-by-plot vinification using exclusively indigenous yeasts. Maceration lasts 30 days, with one third of the tanks vinified as whole bunches. Aging takes place over 18 months in a combination of large wooden barrels and concrete eggs.
Grape Varieties
This blend consists of 70% Syrah, complemented by Grenache and Cinsault.
