Clos de l'Azerole is in the south west part of the appellation on largely limestone and (a little) clay soils. This is a very warm part of the region and is great terroir for Carignan, Grenache and Syrah, though care needs to be taken to ensure the fruit is not left a moment too long allowing the sugars, and the subsequent alcohol, to rise to too high a level - Raymond Julien the proprietor of the domain takes all the care necessary to make exemplary wines.
