Description

Closerie Saint Roc Vin de France Rouge 2019Situated just 1 kilometer south of Chteau Le Puy on the same plain of asterie limestone, this 16 hectare vineyard was acquired by the Amoreau family (owners of Le Puy for over 400 years) in the early 2010s. Several different cuves are produced, based on differences in soil, but all are made in the vein of Le Puys iconic Barthlemy: aging two years in old 228 liter barrels on the gross lees which are stirred in (dynamized) regularly, and with no sulfur

The wine is raised in large oak “botte” for an extended élevage of 36 to as much as 50 months

Despite its relative rigorousness and austerity
