Tasting notes
The nose is refined and expressive, unveiling layers of fleshy blackberry and strawberry, interwoven with violet, ripe berries, and delicate hints of vanilla, sweet spice, and iris. On the palate, the wine is fresh, mineral-driven, and impeccably balanced, showcasing a precise, energetic structure. Juicy cassis and blackberry lead the way, complemented by floral nuances, subtle caramelization, Bourbon vanilla, and a whisper of dark chocolate. Firm yet elegant tannins provide structure and poise, guiding the wine toward a long, persistent finish.
About the Winery
The wines from Clos Saint- Vincent, in the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation, offer a perfect example of the classic Bordeaux style: an exercise in balance, uniting the cardinal qualities of the wine in the expression of fruit and a hint of woodiness from barrel ageing.
The property's 17 hectares present the tightly woven fabric of remarkable, uniform terroir. A vein of gravel runs through it, giving the wines a silky quality that can be attributed to the tannins. This unusual feature is conducive to the expression of a certain precision which is reflected in the purity of the property's wines. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon play their roles in the complex dialogue demanded by harmonious terroirs that are the source of the subtlety of expressive wines.
Entrusted to Saint Vincent, the patron saint of winegrowers, the tendency of the well-named Clos is to produce wines that represent the traditional Bordeaux style. Plot selection is particularly meticulous, given that some of the vines are more than 60 years old. We are dedicated to preserving and making the most of this heritage.
