Product detailed description
Clos Louie 2020 comes from the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, which in recent years has been one of the most interesting areas on the right bank. The 2020 vintage brought healthy and perfectly ripe grapes, thanks to which the wine combines richness with pleasant freshness. Although it is a young wine, it already seems very balanced today.
The aroma is dominated by ripe dark fruit complemented by fine spices, a hint of cocoa and a subtle influence of oak barrels. The taste is full, juicy and at the same time precise, with smooth tannins and a long finish. Due to its structure, it has a long development ahead of it, but the first bottles can be opened now with a longer decantation.
Serve at a temperature of 16-18 ° C. We recommend decanting for at least 90 minutes. It goes well with beef, lamb or roasted game.
