Description
This one is all de-stemmed and showing a little more closed in early January. Fruits are more crunchy, red apple, rhubarb and cherry but still with plenty of charm. It did open up to give a note of black wine gum on the nose too. Plenty of legs on this, full of energy and complexity. Excellent. 2028 to 2036
Producer Information: Christian Clerget
The first time I met Christian he was in a hurry to catch a plane to Nepal and climb the 7th or 8th highest peak in the world. Fortunately his wife Isabelle and daughter Justine are equal parts
of a wonderful family who strive to express what their vineyards offer. As Christian says, ‘don’t try to cheat the vines’.
Justine is in charge now though and starting to make her mark. She is forging ahead with biodynamics and using whole bunch fermentation for almost a third of the harvest.
