Clos LOUIE
Red
- 2018
- Côtes de Castillon
Started in 2003, the adventure of Clos Louie is a textbook case: doll's vineyard (2.3 ha) on a beautiful clay-limestone terroir of Castillon, very old vines (150 years old!) mostly Merlot and red tail malbec, careful biodynamic cultivation, double manual sorting during the harvest, little interventionist vinification, gentle maturing in 500-litre demi-muids. A true artist's wine, absent from the guides but that informed amateurs know well.
- To keep or to drink :
- Wait 3 to 5 years
- Apogée :
- 2025-2038

Rated 91/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Moelleux à l’attaque et de suite savoureux en milieu de bouche, le vin évolue sur un corps fondant et bien présent, avec beaucoup de goût, vers une longue finale sans angle. C’est incrachable. » (Oct. 2020)
