The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Clos de la Molénie, which ranked amongst our favorites of our last Selection Committee, deserves to shine in the spotlight! And for good reason. This Bordeaux region gem, already spotted by Parker, displays all the highest standards of great wines. Created in 2015, the young estate is run biodynamically by Sylvain and Kim Destrieux, on 25 hectares of land located in the Entre-deux-Mers sub-region.
Wine A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon from one hectare of vines, the 2020 Red Bordeaux Supérieur Michelot seduces by the very good maturity of its harvest, offering flavors of black cherry, blackberry and black currant in a vibrant and complex palate. Notes of spices support the whole, profiling a generous, juicy and easy to drink wine. A nice Bordeaux bottle to enjoy with friends or to keep for several more years in the cellar.
Vinification Mechanical harvesting. Vines aged 35 years. Vinification in stainless steel tanks with pumping over. Aged in oak barrels of which 10% are new and 90% of one wine. Diam 5 cork.
