We discovered this little gem of a Côtes de Bordeaux estate just last year. If you find Bordeaux’s contemporary big fruit and big oak formula big boring, you’ll very likely enjoy the antidote that is Closerie du Pelan. Savory, subtle, and intricate, the wines here are saturated with old school charm.
Even in a powerhouse vintage like 2000 both fruit and oak are content to play supporting roles. Deep earthy complexity centers the wine, rain-on-leaves and turned soil early, truffles further into the evening. Cellar-sweetened fruit and savory development strike a balance that resists cracking even after several hours’ decanting.
The year’s strongest pound-for-pound Right Bank discovery.
Cheers,
Jason
