Her boutique estate of 10 hectares barely produces 140 cases each year, so her first label, Clos Erasmus, is inevitably scarce and expensive. Deservedly so, however, as this is one of the regions' and indeed Spain's greatest of all red wines – rich, powerful, dense and exotically perfumed. Clos Erasmus is also one of the few Spanish wines ever to achieve 100 Parker points, proof that the Priorat region in the right hands produces wines to rival the finest from Rioja and Ribera Del Duero. Clos Erasmus, despite its current global renown and acclaim, actually started life by accident, when Swiss born Daphne Glorian visited Priorat with her friends in the late 1980s. Originally, although taken with the inspiring beauty of the region's terraced vineyards, Daphne had no intention of purchase any vines, until Priorat pioneers Alvaro Palacios and Rene Barbier convinced her of the untapped potential of area. For although vineyards had been found in Priorat since Roman times, it was only since the 1990s that Priorat emerged from a unknown backwater to an important wine appellation. Taking plenty of advice and valuable guidance from Rene, Daphne purchased a plot and planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Grenache vines to complement the existing old-vine Grenache plantations. Her hard work and dedication soon transformed this boutique estate into one of Spain's rising stars, which has operated bio-dynamically since 2004. Ever since her estate was awarded 100 Parker points for the 2004 vintage, Daphne has not looked back and the high demand for both her first and second wine speaks volumes. The flagship Erasmus is aged for often over 20 months in new oak, the resulting wine being massively powerful and expressive. Although many can hardly wait, it deserves at least 5-6 years bottle age. The second and fantastically good value wine Laurel, is a softer, lighter version that can always be enjoyed on release. But the most remarkable thing about this estate is how informal and relaxed everything feels, despite Clos Erasmus' global fame. For our special clients and if booked in advance, Daphne will happily show you around herself and after tasting a range of her wonderful wines, perhaps join you for lunch. So for a perfect introduction to the remarkable and stunningly beautiful Priorat region, we cannot think of a better place to start!\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-09-17T03:50:35-04:00","created_at":"2017-08-03T14:14:03-04:00","vendor":"Clos i Terrasses","type":"Red","tags":["Country_Spain","NO_PROMO","Price_$251 - above","Rating_100","Region_Priorat","Section 1_Top","Size_750 ml.","Type_Red","Varietal_Cabernet Sauvignon","Varietal_Grenache","Varietal_Syrah","Vintage_2013","Vintagerange_2011 - 2017","Weight_5.00","Winery_Clos i Terrasses"],"price":28999,"price_min":28999,"price_max":28999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47097261452,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"508","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Clos i Terrasses _ 2013 - Clos Erasmus _ 750 ml.","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":28999,"weight":2268,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":12,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"A0508"}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1997\/1819\/products\/508_2c9b7db8-6a4b-4137-b458-1e7313109278.jpg?v=1517353005"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1997\/1819\/products\/508_2c9b7db8-6a4b-4137-b458-1e7313109278.jpg?v=1517353005","options":["Title"],"content":"\u003cp\u003eCountry: \u003cstrong\u003eSpain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegion: \u003cstrong\u003ePriorat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarietal: \u003cstrong\u003eGrenache; Cabernet Sauvignon; Syrah\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage: \u003cstrong\u003e2013\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: \u003cstrong\u003e750 ml.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a region now filled with big names, Daphne Glorian has been a quiet godmother to the younger generations of winemakers, continuing to promote the good name of Priorat with her exceptional and highly sought-after wines.

This Champagne is produced from a one-hectare parcel owned by Salon: \"Salon’s garden\", and from 19 other smaller parcels in Mesnil-sur-Oger, chosen by Aimé Salon at the beginning of the century. The wines are cellared in the bottle for an average of 10 years, gaining in complexity and finesse. The proof that memory and history are important is shown by the bottles in the cellars from nearly all the vintages that have ever been produced at Salon. Headed by Aimé Salon until his death in 1943, the house was then left to his nephew. In 1988, Champagne Laurent-Perrier, a family-owned company, became the majority shareholder of Champagne Salon.

The proof that memory and history are important is shown by the bottles in the cellars from nearly all the vintages that have ever been produced at Salon. Headed by Aimé Salon until his death in 1943, the house was then left to his nephew. In 1988, Champagne Laurent-Perrier, a family-owned company, became the majority shareholder of Champagne Salon. Today, the house of Salon, along with its ancient neighbour and sister, Champagne Delamotte (the fifth oldest Champagne house, founded in 1760) are directed by one man, Didier Depond.\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Her boutique estate of 10 hectares barely produces 140 cases each year, so her first label, Clos Erasmus, is inevitably scarce and expensive. Deservedly so, however, as this is one of the regions' and indeed Spain's greatest of all red wines – rich, powerful, dense and exotically perfumed. Clos Erasmus is also one of the few Spanish wines ever to achieve 100 Parker points, proof that the Priorat region in the right hands produces wines to rival the finest from Rioja and Ribera Del Duero. Clos Erasmus, despite its current global renown and acclaim, actually started life by accident, when Swiss born Daphne Glorian visited Priorat with her friends in the late 1980s. Originally, although taken with the inspiring beauty of the region's terraced vineyards, Daphne had no intention of purchase any vines, until Priorat pioneers Alvaro Palacios and Rene Barbier convinced her of the untapped potential of area. For although vineyards had been found in Priorat since Roman times, it was only since the 1990s that Priorat emerged from a unknown backwater to an important wine appellation. Taking plenty of advice and valuable guidance from Rene, Daphne purchased a plot and planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Grenache vines to complement the existing old-vine Grenache plantations. Her hard work and dedication soon transformed this boutique estate into one of Spain's rising stars, which has operated bio-dynamically since 2004. Ever since her estate was awarded 100 Parker points for the 2004 vintage, Daphne has not looked back and the high demand for both her first and second wine speaks volumes. The flagship Erasmus is aged for often over 20 months in new oak, the resulting wine being massively powerful and expressive. Although many can hardly wait, it deserves at least 5-6 years bottle age. The second and fantastically good value wine Laurel, is a softer, lighter version that can always be enjoyed on release.

Her boutique estate of 10 hectares barely produces 140 cases each year, so her first label, Clos Erasmus, is inevitably scarce and expensive. Deservedly so, however, as this is one of the regions' and indeed Spain's greatest of all red wines – rich, powerful, dense and exotically perfumed. Clos Erasmus is also one of the few Spanish wines ever to achieve 100 Parker points, proof that the Priorat region in the right hands produces wines to rival the finest from Rioja and Ribera Del Duero. Clos Erasmus, despite its current global renown and acclaim, actually started life by accident, when Swiss born Daphne Glorian visited Priorat with her friends in the late 1980s. Originally, although taken with the inspiring beauty of the region's terraced vineyards, Daphne had no intention of purchase any vines, until Priorat pioneers Alvaro Palacios and Rene Barbier convinced her of the untapped potential of area. For although vineyards had been found in Priorat since Roman times, it was only since the 1990s that Priorat emerged from a unknown backwater to an important wine appellation. Taking plenty of advice and valuable guidance from Rene, Daphne purchased a plot and planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Grenache vines to complement the existing old-vine Grenache plantations. Her hard work and dedication soon transformed this boutique estate into one of Spain's rising stars, which has operated bio-dynamically since 2004. Ever since her estate was awarded 100 Parker points for the 2004 vintage, Daphne has not looked back and the high demand for both her first and second wine speaks volumes. The flagship Erasmus is aged for often over 20 months in new oak, the resulting wine being massively powerful and expressive. Although many can hardly wait, it deserves at least 5-6 years bottle age. The second and fantastically good value wine Laurel, is a softer, lighter version that can always be enjoyed on release. But the most remarkable thing about this estate is how informal and relaxed everything feels, despite Clos Erasmus' global fame. For our special clients and if booked in advance, Daphne will happily show you around herself and after tasting a range of her wonderful wines, perhaps join you for lunch.
