Le Clos is a classic Vouvray from 50-year-old vines planted on limestone and is Chenin Blanc at its finest, rubbing shoulders with the top wines of Huet and Foureau. If tasted blind this could even be the winner of the trio. The wine has terrific aromatics, purity, and incredible depth, especially for white wine at this price point. Le Clos finishes with tons of dry extract and a long palate-staining finish. A must-buy for the white wine lover we have special reduced pricing here today on a limited amount in stock.
Vinous (Rebecca Gibbs MW) 95 pts! "While expansive and round, the 2019 Le Clos, sourced from 50-year-old vines planted on a limestone slope, also offers excellent freshness. A definite thread of chalkiness provides line and tension. There's also a subtle oak influence here, adding a soupcon of savoriness on the nose and rounding its shoulders in terms of its shape. The length finish is lithe and pure!".
