Chateau La Clotte Saint Emilion 2019 (750ml)
Chateau La Clotte Saint Emilion 2019 (750ml)
Bright, focussed and beautifully proportioned, the 2018 La Clotte impresses with its aromas of sage, mint, lavender, rose petal and blood orange. The palate is taut and polished, showing vivid red and dark fruit supported by firm tannins and refreshing acidity. Slightly austere at this early stage, it promises to open with time, gaining depth and elegance. Under the stewardship of the Vauthier family, La Clotte has gained in precision and finesse, and this vintage captures its rising stature brilliantly.

The 2018 La Clotte represents another big move forward for this château under the Vauthier family. Bright, focused and tightly wound, the 2018 is going to need at least a few years to soften, but its pedigree is evident, even in the early going. Sage, mint, lavender, rose petal and blood orange meld into the vibrant, polished finish.

Even in the short time that the Vauthiers have been making La Clotte, you can see the depth and precision increasing. This is a little more serious perhaps than the Moulin Saint-Georges in the same range. Pretty austere at this point, but packed with dark fruits and with promise. Cabernet Sauvignon uprooted after the 2019 vintage. Drinking Window 2026-2044.
