2021 Château la Clotte, St Emilion, Bordeaux

Description

Merlot 85%, Cabernet Franc 15%.

This four-hectare vineyard has been owned by the Vauthier family of Château Ausone since 2014. Conversion to organic viticulture began in 2020. With each vintage the estate moves up a notch in realising the potential of its limestone terroir. The 2021 is slightly tight at first taste, a little lean but with some grip. This evolves splendidly on the second phase, with juicy red fruits and a hint of lavender emerging. This is a very composed wine that feels fully in control, with all the components finely balanced.

Saint-Emilion

Saint-Emilion

First officially classified in 1954, St-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's largest winemaking appellations, producing more wine than Listrac, Moulis, St Estèphe, Pauillac, St Julien and Margaux combined. Many of the region's finest vineyards can be found atop the steep limestone slopes of the village itself, although a fledgling band of garagiste producers are eschewing terroir to make small-batch, deeply-concentrated wines from their homes.
