Product detailed description
Clos Louie 2019 was created in a vintage that is one of the most successful on the right bank of Bordeaux in the last decade. Thanks to the warm summer and favorable autumn, the grapes ripened to excellent condition without losing any of their freshness. The result is a harmonious Bordeaux with a rich fruity character and very good structure.
The aroma develops ripe plums, dark forest fruits and subtle notes of spice, complemented by a light touch of quality oak. The taste is concentrated but not heavy. Well-integrated tannins, lively acidity and a long finish give the wine elegance and the prerequisites for further maturation.
Serve at a temperature of 16–18 °C. We recommend decanting for approximately 1 hour before serving. It will go well with beef, lamb or mature hard cheeses.

Clos Louie is a unique small family-owned estate located in the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. This micro-winery is built on a deep respect for traditional practices and biodynamic farming, with a focus on preserving the natural character of the vineyard and allowing the wine to develop with minimal intervention.
The greatest treasure of the estate is its old vines, with some parcels containing vines more than 150 years old, including a portion planted before the phylloxera epidemic. This rare historic vineyard heritage represents exceptional genetic material from Bordeaux’s past. The unique blend of grape varieties includes Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rare Carménère, which contributes to the wine’s distinctive character.
Through meticulous hand work, natural fermentation, and a very gentle approach to winemaking, Clos Louie produces wines of remarkable depth, complexity, and structure. The wines offer an authentic expression of their historic terroir while also possessing impressive ageing potential.
