Note di degustazione
This is a little more evolved than the Moulin St Georges, filled with waves of tobacco, saffron, rose petals. As it opens a gorgeous shot of fennel arrives, and you see the charm of the fresh fruits and rose petals. Owned by Nelly Moulierac at the time, and the whole approach was pretty old school and traditional - but still has the huge advantage of being on some of the best limestone soils of the plateau.

A seductive style of wine, as usual, La Clotte’s blend of generally 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc (I do believe a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon is also present) displays spicy, fruity black currant and black cherry notes intermixed with loamy soil undertones, a hint of sagebrush, and herbs. It is a meaty, fleshy, rich wine with moderate tannins and decent acid levels. There is a sense of elegance and purity, but this is not a style that requires a lot of patience from its purchaser. Full-bodied, beautifully round and generous, it is already showing secondary nuances and should drink well for 15-20+ years.
