Clos U Suale 2025 Patrimonio Rouge Folie a Deux

The Folie a Deux Rouge is mostly Niellucciu with about 5% Grenache, grown on schist soils and macerated five days in stainless steel. It is aged two-thirds in stainless steel and one-third in demi-muid for a total of six months. The 2025 shows nice depth with black cherry and some plum fruit, balanced by a sort of dusty mineral quality that comes through on the palate and adds complexity. It still has vibrant acidity and nice lift on the palate, with fine tannins and a lingering finish. Ideally served at cellar temp alongside roasted meats, hard cheeses, or anything on the grill.
