🍷 Clos des Calades: Elegance and Freshness from the Hills of Langlade

Located in Langlade near Nîmes, Clos des Calades is a 5-hectare family estate founded in 2005 by Jean-Paul Cases. Perched on a “puech” (hill) overlooking the Vaunage valley, the vineyard is surrounded by garrigue, dry stone walls, oaks, and strawberry trees. The clay-limestone soils and fractured marl create an exceptional terroir with low disease pressure, allowing for chemical-free cultivation. Red grape varieties (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre) are vinified with care to highlight Langlade’s signature freshness.
