Named after the small walled vineyard (‘Clos’) that lies huddled down to the front of the estate, this sheltered 0.94ha site enjoys an extra 1°C degree of temperature. The late Bernard Michelot claims that he always felt that extra degree of warmth after he jumped over the wall, returning from seeing his girlfriend in the early hours, after breaking the evening curfew during the 2WW!
Aged in 15% new oak, there are a multitude of flavours –nuts, rich honey, pineapple, peach apple and pain grille. Balanced with a delicious salinity and rasping freshness this is a stunning wine.
