Tasting notes
Dark garnet black with purple highlights throughout. Lovely notes of dark fruit (cherry, blackberry), beautiful minerality with graphite notes. Soft, rich and elegant on entry. Very fine, silky tannins. Long-lingering finish with aromatic notes reminiscent of the granite terroir.
Description
The Le Clos is sourced from less than an acre on a granite slope at the south end of Tournon. Chapoutier first began to bottle it in 2011 when the new winery gave him the ability to micro-vinify the roughly 200 cases of Le Clos made every vintage. Grown on brown soils derived from coarse-grained, black mica granite that is fractured and locally altered, this wine offers mineral and floral notes with great length. Le Clos joins the increasingly popular ranks of Chapoutier’s Saint-Joseph single parcel wines.
