Additional Information

Alcohol: 12.5% Bottle size: 75cl - 550 g Age of Vines: 45 years The extraction is very delicate by occasional pigeage, and the wine is aged for 16 months in new (10%) to 7yo barrels, the majority of which are 400 and 600ltr (rather than the more traditional 225ltr size). It would be difficult to find a purer fruited wine (using older/bigger barrels and low sulphur really help) which mingle black and red fruits, with a dynamism, freshness and very digestible quality, and fine tannins on the finish.

About Closeries des Moussis

Laurence and Pascale like to experiment and vinify in all kind of vessels, making fresh, nuanced and terroir-driven wines. They also intuitively understand that Bordeaux can produce wines with great finesse and purity of fruit at perfectly adequate, low levels of sulphur (30mg/l total or below). They produce mainly red wines (Vins de France, Haut-Médoc, Moulis and Margaux), but also sparkling and white.
