VdP, Iconique Cabernet, Le Gd-Clos, J-M Novelle - 2018

From now on, the Domaine du Grand-Clos has chosen to remove the barrels from its cellar and to move towards long maturation in vats in order to favour finesse and purity. Like this Cabernet (Franc and Sauvignon) with its minty, liquorice and eucalyptus notes, with a greedy, mature palate and a superb finish of black fruits.

Viticulture

Le Grand Clos is a family estate of 7 ha located in the commune of Satigny. The vineyard on the hillside is grassed over and maintained with the utmost rigour. A lot of work is done in the vineyard, which produces little but gives healthy and concentrated fruit. The grapes are harvested when they are fully ripe in terms of alcohol, phenolics and aroma.

Oenology

Aged in stainless steel vats for up to 24 months. In some red vintages, malolactic fermentation is only partially carried out, if at all, in order to preserve a maximum of freshness and purity of fruit.

Suggestions for accompaniment

To be drunk with a nice rib of beef grilled with vine shoots or a duck on the spit.

But before arriving at this form of maturity, the road has been long. Before taking over the family estate, Jean-Michel was a brilliant student who could have gone on to a completely different career, but the call of wine was stronger. So in 1980 he arrived at the Grand Clos estate and rethought the grape varieties. The old Gamay and Pinot Noir vines were kept, while a large part of the Chasselas was torn out to allow the planting of grape varieties that were often new and therefore never explored in Geneva. History and success would prove him right, but not content with revitalising the Grand Clos and strengthened by its success, he took advantage of the same period to advise a number of estates throughout...
