Clos Constantin - Euziéra 2024
Euziéra 2024 from Clos Constantin reveals a bright and deeply expressive interpretation of the Jonquières terroir, in the heart of the Terrasses du Larzac. The vintage stands out for its radiant freshness that highlights a vibrant bouquet of raspberry, crunchy cherry, and wild blackberry, accompanied by touches of violet and garrigue. The palate is immediate, juicy, crossed by a subtle tension that energizes the whole and offers a remarkable sensation of purity. The texture, precise and slender, stretches with elegance without ever losing its indulgence. The tannins are fine and smooth, providing a silky texture that carries the wine gently. The finish, lively and floral, extends the fruit expression with great clarity. This 2024 confirms the estate's ability to craft wines that are upright, vibrant, and deeply sincere.
Upon aeration, Euziéra 2024 reveals an additional dimension, blending nuances of dried herbs, white pepper, and a touch of peony that accentuate its natural finesse. The structure remains intentionally digestible, guided by a mineral freshness that recalls the altitude and stony soils of the Jonquières plateau. This harmony makes the wine an ideal companion for convivial and refined cuisines, capable of accompanying both roasted poultry and characterful vegetable dishes. The balance between fruity brightness and tension makes it an immediately charming red, while retaining the depth necessary to evolve harmoniously over a few years. Its profile is that of a wine designed for precision and elegance rather than power, faithful to the identity of Clos Constantin. It thus expresses itself with rare clarity, highlighting the quality of work both in the cellar and in the vineyard. The aromatic persistence testifies to a mature and perfectly controlled vintage.
