Description
| Notes | |||
| "Certified organic, 100% Chenin Blanc (Massale selection) from three lieux-dits in Montlouis: 'Les Borderies,' 'Le Grand Clos,' and 'Bel Air.' Oldest vines of the estate (90+ years old) from high density plantings on south facing slopes. Dense clay and silex stones before you hit pure chalk. Indigenous yeast, fermented and aged in older 500L barrels for 10 months." —importer |
| Critical Acclaim | |||
| "The 2019 Le Grand Clos is a quiet and graceful wine. It's as if a symphony orchestra has been playing pianissimo and then they've come to a collective pause, holding its bows and breath before releasing the tension and easing into the next lyrical passage. Having been fermented and raised in 500-liter barrels for 10 months, there oak is subtle but evident in its almond pastry flavors and its rounded edges. It offers the intensity of old, low-yielding vines (an ancient 90-years-old) but it does so in a tranquil, unshowy manner. The wine finishes with a stream of flowing acidity, providing a cleansing and precise spine as well as phenolic tension offering grip and cheek-licking texture. The scented finish is long and satisfying. A delightful baby that the impatient could open now but has the structure and concentration to go on and on." —Vinous |
