Château LA CLOTTE Non-classified wine 2023 Futures

Exceptional terroir of 4 hectares on a south-facing slope (like Pavie) at the entrance to the village of Saint-Émilion. Taken over in 2014 by the Vauthier family (Ausone), who is committed to highlighting the deep, juicy flesh of her grapes, with a confounding naturalness and a splendid aromatic radiance. La Clotte has everything it takes to quickly become one of the most cult wines of the appellation.

Revue du Vin de France : 95-96/100 « Il illustre parfaitement un saint-émilion solaire, sombre, dominé par un merlot bien mûr, au bouquet baroque, virevoltant. Son ampleur en bouche lui confère un confort, une suavité, une envergure inimitables. Un panache souligné par une finale énergique. »
Le Point : 15/20 « Fruité pur, boisé fin, bonne tension, tanins denses, finale crayeuse, vive, poivrée. »
Quarin : 95/100 « Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, subtil et noble. Il se développe très pur à l'agitation du verre avec un fond de framboises et de truffe. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, particulièrement savoureux au milieu, le vin se développe lentement dans un déroulé parfaitement équilibré et un toucher raffiné. Il s'achève long et ascendant dans ses saveurs. C'est superbe ! »
Galloni : 92-94/100 « The 2023 La Clotte is a very serious wine. La Clotte is 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, but the Franc feels especially prominent at this stage. Saline notes run through core of plum, blood orange, white flowers, crushed rocks and white pepper. A shy, introspective wine, this will need a number of years to be at its best, but it is immensely promising. »
Martin : 93-95/100 « This has a little more precision and mineralité on the nose compared to the Moulin Saint-Georges, quite vibrant with shucked oyster shell in the background. The palate is medium-bodied, with svelte tannins that lend a satin-like texture. It’s very harmonious though not deep, and maybe it misses a bit of grip. That said, more extraction probably would have thrown off the balance here. Very seductive. »
