There is no wood, no air-conditioning (it has to generate its own electricity) and the yields rarely exceed 20hl\/ha. The wine, however, is exceptional. Les Cistes (85 per cent Syrah, 15 per cent Grenache) is usually fresher and more red fruity. The Cuvée Clos Léone (95 per cent Syrah, 5 per cent Mourvèdre) is more black fruity, roasted, gamey. I think these are some of the greatest wines to come out of the Languedoc, certainly some of the most original. - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-color=\"rgb(255, 255, 255)\"\u003eClive Coates MW, Decanter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow entering a beautiful stage of maturity, Belle Léone 2014 showcases the rewards of patience.
