All of the fruit is 100% destemmed, and fermentations take place in concrete tanks with gentle punch-downs twice a day, which they prefer over pump-overs to limit the amount of oxygen ingress. The juice is left in the tank for about two weeks before being racked to barrel for malolactic and ageing; the juice is left to settle for two days prior to being racked to barrel. A fair amount of new oak is used in the wines; the village wine, for example, is aged in 60% new François’ Frères oak barrels for an average of 16 months before bottling without filtration. Each label is a benchmark for quality, and they are often hallmarked by a generous and elegant style.

Situated just 500 meters from plot 469, this single vineyard (only 45 acres) benefits from having its vines planted in very shallow limestone soils complemented by a highly ventilated climate.

Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it’s round and charming with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids, chalky dry extracts and a long, saline, ethereal finish.

The 2016 Clauzet offers rich and opulent dark cherry and blueberry fruit on the nose, more floral than earthy compared to its peers, but with commendable delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry and I appreciate how those slightly rigid Saint Estèphe tannins provide the backbone here.
