Saint-Joseph Le Clos 2017 6x75cl

• 75cl bottle

A beautifully mineral nose with graphite, cherry and blackberry notes. The palate is soft, rich and elegant with a long-lingering finish and aromatic notes reminiscent of the granite terroir.

Vineyards

Brown soils derived from coarse-grained, black mica granite, fractured and locally altered. The bunches are cut then transported to the winery in small crates.

Vintage

This year was full of surprises and will remain ingrained in our memories due to its unpredictable weather! It was a true winemakers’ vintage and the month of September made it what it is. The northern reds show a classic and pure style, with exceptional potential.
