This is understated with hidden depths, walking the line of ripeness in a lighter frame that will be ready to drink in a few years.

Harvest October 2 to 6. Old vines, average age 57 years, Thierry Lezin cellar master. 100% new oak. Second year of organic converison. Harvest October 2 to 6, 29hl/h yield.

Inside Bordeaux

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, La Clotte 2021 has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It jumps from the glass with notes of black cherries, redcurrant preserves, and black raspberries, followed by hints of cinnamon toast and star anise, with a waft of black pepper. Light-bodied, elegant, and light on its feet, the palate delivers silky tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing with a skip in its step.

Excellent quality from the off, this is gripping and fragrant, again slimmer than in recent years but again capturing and harnessing the potential finesse of the vintage, peony, iris, cassis bud, crushed rose petals. The fruit a little less evident that the flowers, this is more about texture and minerality. Winery at La Clotte now totally finished, vineyard is almost 50% replanted, just under 3ha in production, with another three years before the whole project with reception facilties are totally ready to go. 100% new oak. Harvest 1 to 5 October. Philippe Baillarguet cellar master. 

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, La Clotte 2023 is deep garnet-purple in color. Notions of mossy tree bark and dusty soil slowly emerge from the glass, giving way to a core of Morello cherries, juicy plums, and spice cake. The medium-bodied palate has subtle layers of red fruit and savory nuances, with satiny tannins and bags of freshness, finishing on a minerally note.

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, La Clotte 2022 is deep garnet-purple in color. It sashays out with provocative notes of spiced plums, boysenberry preserves, and potpourri, leading to hints of star anise and black olives. The full-bodied palate is rich, plush, and perfumed, delivering fantastic freshness and a long, wonderfully pure finish.

This was pretty austere during En Primeur and is now beginning to put on weight, showing sleek raspberry and redcurrant fruit, studded with fennel, marzipan and orange rind with a mouthwatering finish. Clear limestone influence, just love watching what is happening at this property since the 2015 arrival of the Vauthiers. 100% new oak. An excellent, La Clotte, look out for it.

The 2010 has held up a little better than the 2009, tighter, more tannic, with austere black fruits and the pumice stone scrape of limestone unmistakable. Still pretty ready to drink, but it has a good decade or more ahead of it. Owner Nelly Moulierac

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.
