Awards/Ratings
Producer tasting notes (2021) describe intense aromatics and tannic structure. User ratings: Vivino ~4. 1/5 (aggregate). 5%. Some other Duband vintages score ~90–92 by trade critics; no single high‑profile universal critic score located for the 2021 Clos Sorbé

Tasting Note
Ripe red and black fruits (raspberry, redcurrant, blackberry) with tea, iris and chalky mineral. Taut, tensioned palate with fine-to-firm tannins, bright acidity and a long, mineral finish; benefits from bottle age.

Food Pairing
Western: roast duck breast, mushroom risotto, aged beef, roasted lamb, wild mushroom pasta. Asian: Peking duck, kirsch‑roasted shrimp with samphire, soy/miso glazed salmon or aubergine, mushroom stir‑fries.

Production Method
Hand‑harvested, sorted; ~70% whole clusters; 15‑day maceration with 5–7 punchdowns; pressed, 13 months élevage in 40% new oak (rest older barrels); bottled without fining or filtration.
