Chateau La Clotte Grand Cru Classe

La Clotte, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2020

La Clotte

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 96.0

Château La Clotte remains “a true, Saint-Émilion insider’s secret wine” (The Wine Cellar Insider). Laced with piquant minerality and enveloped in a rounded opulence, this is a truly gorgeous wine. At just three hectares, La Clotte is one of Bordeaux’s hidden gems. The vineyards are planted with Merlot (c.85%), Cabernet Franc (c.15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (c.5%) and are located on Saint-Émilion’s limestone plateau, not far from the illustrious Château Ausone. The grapes are then harvested by hand before ageing in 50% new French oak barrels for roughly 15 months, depending on the vintage. Château La Clotte is best after about 5-7 years of ageing, with peak maturity reach between 8-20 years of age after the vintage.

Anis, almond and marzipan on the nose. There is a subtle interplay of tannin and acidity, linear and direct, finishing up with a clementine and orange rind bitterness that also gives a sense of forward propulsion through the palate. Has definition and personality, and continues its improvements under the Ausone team. Moulin St Georges has more breadth, depth and texture through the palate - this has more of a limestone squeeze, giving plenty of choice depending on what you are looking for.

The 2020 Château La Clotte comes from more limestone, terraced hillsides and is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, vinified in concrete tanks and aged in new French oak. Cassis, ripe black cherries, toasted spice, and classy oak notes all emerge on the nose, and its full-bodied, with beautiful concentration, building tannins, and a great finish. This beauty gains complexity with time in the glass and shows more tobacco, toasted nut, and damp earth. It’s another spectacular effort from this family.
