Tasting

To the eye

A deep purple colour with violet highlights, bright and intense.

Nose

An elegant bouquet of dark fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant) blended with notes of violet, graphite and pencil lead.

Palate

A crisp, elegant attack. The body is dense yet incredibly fine-grained, with silky tannins that coat the palate. It is a ‘stony’, highly mineral wine.

Pairing

A cut of beef with marrow, a shoulder of lamb slow-cooked for seven hours, or a young pigeon with cherries.

Aging potential

It’s superb even now after being decanted, and has an ageing potential of 15 to 20 years.

Your questions, our answers.

Could this 2022 be too rich if I like taut reds?

The hot, dry summer produced Cabernet Francs of exceptional ripeness, but the description also highlights their well-preserved tension. This vintage may therefore appeal to you if you’re looking for ripeness without giving up a taut, saline profile.

What does the “saline verticality” mentioned for this wine mean?

It suggests a sense of tautness and salinity on the palate, rather than a wine defined solely by its richness. It’s a useful guide if you enjoy reds whose tension complements the ripeness of the grapes.

Is this a wine to choose for vigorous extraction?

The gentle infusion winemaking method suggests a preference for measured extraction. The stated aim is to preserve the expression of the site; however, no tasting note specifies the tannins’ power or texture.

Why choose this clos if I’m interested in terroir wines?

It comes from a 1.8-hectare walled vineyard, where tuffeau limestone lies just beneath a thin layer of sand and clay. It’s a good choice for exploring the expression of a precisely defined site, whose description highlights its saline signature.

What occasion is this bottle particularly suited to?

A tasting focused on Loire Cabernet Francs or the influence of limestone terroirs would be especially fitting. This 2022 offers a chance to explore how ripeness from a hot summer and tension can coexist in the same wine.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
