This is the domaine’s ‘newest’ parcel, bought in 1976. Located near the cellar, in the south of the Chinon appellation, this is like a mini Clos de la Dioterie, on deep clay-limestone soils with colluvial topsoil. It typically shows great balance between tannins and acidity, so smooth and composed in 2019. It glides to an effortlessly elegant and long finish.
This wine is now sold out. Please get in touch with your advisor or one of our team on [email protected] or 01473 313 300 for more information or guidance on an alternative.
The 2019 Les Varennes du Grand Clos initially appears rather sumptuous with plenty of black fruit and violet charm of Cabernet Franc. The small percentage of new oak barrels adds a light vanilla and spiced edge. It has slightly edgy tannins giving grip and freshness on the finish, but they need time.
