St Emilion Grand Cru Clos des Menuts

Description

Stéphane de Renoncourt vinifies this beautiful Saint Emilion Grand Cru conducted in reasoned culture, it is located in the town of Saint Emilion. Clos des Menuts is a round and powerful wine with subtle tannins and a successful barrel aging. The color is deep, the nose has notes of ripe grapes and the elegant oakiness emphasizes toasty and vanilla notes. These impressions are confirmed in the mouth. In the 1950s, Clos des Menuts had only one hectare. Today, it covers 25 hectares ready for the ramparts of the medieval city or there are beautiful medieval monolithic wine cellars at a constant temperature of 12 °. Clos des Menuts, flagship of the River brothers, is the experimental laboratory of the set of properties. Thus, in 1997, he was the precursor of manual grape harvest in crates that will later be applied to all farms. The reasoned cultivation was generalized in 2001 to the whole Clos des Menuts and begins to be on the other properties. Clos des menuts is a wine from Maison Riviere St Emilion.
