The 2008 Clos Figueres is raised for 13 months in a combination of new and second-fill Allier barriques and casks. It has more definition and restraint on the nose than the 2007 that was tasted alongside and is, frankly, a little over-ripe and alcoholic. A propos the 2008, the terroir shows through with much more clarity and imparts more freshness. The palate is full-bodied and structured with layers of toasty, dark berry fruit with fine underlying mineralite. The wonderfully restrained finish could teach the 2007 some class! Drink 2014-2025. Christopher and Charlotte Cannan have owned Clos Figueras since 1997, after a recommendation by their friend Rene Barbier, who suggested they acquire the first 10-hectare parcel of abandoned terraces just outside Gratallops. This was augmented by a 8-hectare parcel three years later. Apart from the flagship wine, they produce a small amount of white wine aged in stainless steel vat.
